Participants who visit PƎRⱯ Reverse are inspired by the work of Contact Zines, where each artist in the exhibition makes three-minute exploratory tours around Istanbul, taking notes and turning them into a collective sharing medium. Personal memory notebooks are designed in the workshop, which reflects on the relationship between collective memory and space. The notebooks designed by the participants in this workshop, where the places visited in the city are brought together with the tools of emotion and remembrance, continue to be shaped by the memories of each place visited after the workshop.

Ali Sami is born in Rusçuk in 1866, and moves to İstanbul. Because his family is registered in the Beylerbeyi quarter of Üsküdar, Ali Sami is also called Üsküdarlı Ali Sami. He graduates from the Mühendishane-i Berri-i Hümayun in 1866 and becomes a teacher of painting and photography at the school.
Berggren acquires the techniques of photography in Berlin and holds different jobs in various European cities before arriving in İstanbul. Initially en route to Marseille, he disembarks from his ship in 1866 and settles in İstanbul, where he is to spend the rest of his life.
Following the opening of his studio, “El Chark Societe Photographic,” on Beyoğlu’s Postacılar Caddesi in 1857, the Levantine-descent Pascal Sébah moves to yet another studio next to the Russian Embassy in 1860 with a Frenchman named A. Laroche, who, apart from having worked in Paris previously, is also quite familiar with photographic techniques.
