Inspired by Orhan Pamuk's best-selling novel The Museum of Innocence, the documentary follows a narrative set in Istanbul, intertwining themes of love, memory, and remembrance. Like in Pamuk's novel, the main character is Kemal, who creates a museum to preserve the memories of an unforgettable love. Narrated by Orhan Pamuk, the documentary, through the objects displayed in this museum, traces the memories of Kemal's passionate love and the remembrance of the city where these memories took place, questioning our relationship with the past.
Pera Museum’s Cold Front from the Balkans exhibition curated by Ali Akay and Alenka Gregorič brings together contemporary artists from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.
Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
Giorgio de Chirico was born on July 10, 1888, in Volos, Greece, to an Italian family. His mother, Gemma Cervetto, was from a family of Genoa origin, but most likely she was born in Izmir. His father, Evaristo, was born on June 21, 1841 in the Büyükdere district of Istanbul.
