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.
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
Selected from the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Photography Collection, we present the landscapes and places in Istanbul photographs, dating from the 1850s to the 1980s, together with their present-day views!
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.
