Magical Mirrors

Pera Enabled

In this workshop, after an instructor-led exhibition tour of Samih Rifat: “Much Is to Be Done”, students are introduced to Samih Rifat's works on photography and, in particular, his self-portrait taken through mirrors. Just as people used mirrors to paint self-portraits before the invention of the camera, students design mirrors on which they can also paint themselves using materials such as beads, stamps, black background cardboard, and mirrored cardboard.

Nam June Paik was video art’s pioneer (1932 –2006).

Transition to Sculpture

Transition to Sculpture

If Manolo Valdés’s paintings convey a search for materiality, his sculpture does so even more. Today, sculpture has taken over most of his workspace, his time, and his efforts.
