Can a disk rotated in front of a mirror be used to see moving images? Do the lines come alive, or is it an optical illusion? In the workshop based on the Souvenirs of the Future, children are inspired by the motifs and animal-shaped ceramics in the exhibition and design a phenakistiscope with which they can animate an image of their choice. In the workshop led by animation artist Ferhat Akbaba, children learn the basic principles of animation and have the opportunity to add movement to their different drawings with the fun optical toy they design.

Organized in collaboration with the Giacometti Foundation, Paris, the exhibition explores Giacometti’s prolific life, most of which the artist led in his studio in Montparnasse, through the works of his early period as well his late work, including one unfinished piece. Devoted to Giacometti’s early works, the first part of the exhibition demonstrates the influence of Giovanni Giacometti, the father of the artist and a Swiss Post-Impressionist painter himself, on Giacometti’s output during these years and his role in his son’s development.
The second part of exhibition illustrates Alberto Giacometti’s relations with Post-Cubist artists and the Surrealist movement between 1922 and 1935, one of the important sculptures series he created during his first years in Paris, and the critical role he played in the art scene of the period.
