“The 90s had a pretty bad start”, this is how Vincent Dieutre introduces us to the shadows of his personal universe in those years. Utrecht, Naples, Rome... Three cities and two love stories guide us through the nocturnal itinerary of a man searching for beauties past in the 90s. The first part of the “Films of Europe” cycle constitutes a geographical and sentimental trip through the shadowy art and Caravaggio. An essay, a travelogue, a documentary, a fiction film, this memoir reconstitutes by fragments a fatal journey.
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.
Among the most interesting themes in the oeuvre of Prassinos are cypresses, trees, and Turkish landscapes. The cypress woods in Üsküdar he saw every time he stepped out on the terrace of their house in İstanbul or the trees in Petits Champs must have been strong images of childhood for Prassinos.
