About Lütfullah Genç
Lütfullah Genç (1994, Giresun) graduated from Hacettepe University Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Ceramics in 2018. In 2021, he completed his master's degree at Hacettepe University with his thesis titled 'Transformation of Images from Personal Memory into Art Objects'. Focusing on the notions of class, object and memory in his works, the artist approaches the illusions created by psychology in perception through the concept of object. Utilizing the tension of perception by using narrow and wide contrasts, the artist produces new media and installation-based works in which he works with different mediums, especially ceramics.
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.
