Life is hard for Zia: He’s recently broken up with his girlfriend, he is misunderstood by his parents and oh yeah… he’s just killed himself and is now living in the “afterlife.” It’s an afterlife of menial jobs, dingy bars, old girlfriends and bad public transport. Once he gets there, Zia makes two friends: A clever, oddly charming Russian rocker and a sexy intelligent ingénue, who is determined to prove she was sent to the afterlife by a cruel quirk of fate. Together, in a rickety orange station wagon held together by masking tape, this impromptu family hits the road. A film filled with unexpected miracles and absurd humor which shows just how precious and surprising one’s life truly is.
In his book exploring the cultural history of souvenirs, Rolf Potts discusses how such objects assume meaning through personal stories: Objects turn into memories with the stories they hold.
Pera Museum presents an exhibition of French artist Félix Ziem, one of the most original landscape painters of the 19th century. The exhibition Wanderer on the Sea of Light presents Ziem as an artist who left his mark on 19th century painting and who is mostly known for his paintings of Istanbul and Venice, where the city and the sea are intertwined.
Our institutions have been stuck on linear Neo-Platonic tracks for 24 centuries. These antiquated processes of deduction have lost their authority. Just like art it has fallen off its pedestal. Legal, educational and constitutional systems rigidly subscribe to these; they are 100% text based.
