Artist: Narimane Mari
France, 90’, 2015
French with Turkish subtitles
Everyday, small pieces of daily life are filmed, whatever the weather, whatever the mood and regardless of which city they’re filmed in; they form an opera of short stories and wider movements, a collective intimacy, shared with the outside world. Narimane Mari films urban spaces and those who set the scene in several cities across the world. Through her travels and wanderings, her appointments and shopping trips, the film captures the flâneurs and the workers, the movement that punctuates the narrative and form of cities. She looks at and lives through the everyday in order to extract their poetry and make it into a film, for which everyone can collectively create the sound.
Pera Museum, in collaboration with Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), is one of the main venues for this year’s 15th Istanbul Biennial from 16 September to 12 November 2017. Through the biennial, we will be sharing detailed information about the artists and the artworks.
“The portrait tells us that there is an inner and an outer dimension of the human condition; it provides—or should provide—information about both the physical and psychological character of an individual.”
Our institutions have been stuck on linear Neo-Platonic tracks for 24 centuries. These antiquated processes of deduction have lost their authority. Just like art it has fallen off its pedestal. Legal, educational and constitutional systems rigidly subscribe to these; they are 100% text based.
