Shot on the streets of Paris in the spring of 1962, shortly after the Algerian War, the film consists of a series of street interviews with the city's citizens. The documentary explores people's feelings towards the social and political issues of the time, examining the meaning of happiness and touching on universal ideals such as prosperity, tolerance, economic opportunity and freedom. The film, praised for its innovative approach to studying human experiences and emotions, won awards at the DOK Leipzig and Venice Film Festival.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Pera Museum invites artist Benoît Hamet to reinterpret key pieces from its collections, casting a humourous eye over ‘historical’ events, both imagined and factual.
Each memory tells an intimate story; each collection presents us with the reality of containing an intimate story as well. The collection is akin to a whole in which many memories and stories of the artist, the viewer, and the collector are brought together. At the heart of a collection is memory, nurtured from the past and projecting into the future.
How can the future be imagined by looking at a collection or an archive? The lasting quality of ceramics allows us to ponder how the future might be remembered through a ceramics collection, since they render conceivable time eternal.
