A 45-year-old Russian man travels through Poland with a circus. One night, he lets the animals out of their cages and watches in delight as the tigers, camels, and elephants walk through the market square of the sleepy town. The next day, he loses his job. He begins traveling on his own and meets Angela and the Kid. They start to perform on the streets together. The Master throws knives, Angela assists him and the kid plays the accordion. The Master wants to get to Paris, where he thinks his artistry will be appreciated.

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.
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.
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.
