One night in the spring of 1995, the camera observing life at the Larissa Train Station in Athens introduces us to the 'tenants' of the station: Antonia, Florakis, and George. The film, shot over four weeks, presents a gallery of people living at the station by following the chronological structure of a single evening: homeless individuals, soldiers, and migrants define a space where different worlds converge and coexist.
A firm believer in the idea that a collection needs to be upheld at least by four generations and comparing this continuity to a relay race, Nahit Kabakcı began creating the Huma Kabakcı Collection from the 1980s onwards. Today, the collection can be considered one of the most important and outstanding examples among the rare, consciously created, and long-lasting ones of its kind in Turkey.
Ali Sami is born in Rusçuk in 1866, and moves to İstanbul. Because his family is registered in the Beylerbeyi quarter of Üsküdar, Ali Sami is also called Üsküdarlı Ali Sami. He graduates from the Mühendishane-i Berri-i Hümayun in 1866 and becomes a teacher of painting and photography at the school.
