The workshop is led by Silva Bingaz, who contributed to Istanbuls Today with The Transformative Soul Deep Within and interprets the basis of photography as a rapprochement. The workshop will explore the common points of the photographic journey of artists such as Christer Strömholm, Ed van der Elsken, Francesca Woodman, Hellen van Meene, Sarah Moon and Véronique Bourgoin and the routes they follow, aiming to develop a subjective perspective in photography.
The workshop will take place on different dates as two interconnected sessions.
Session 1 (September 15, 19:00): Silva Bingaz talks about the photographers with whom she has shared a memory and the school of thought that shaped her photography through her dialogues with the artists and selected photographs.
Session 2 (September 17, 14:00):Participants will discuss the photographs they have taken or liked, which they will either send to ogrenme@peramuzesi.org.tr before the workshop or bring.
Capacity: 20 people
Duration: 120 minutes (each session)
Fee for the two-day workshop program: 350 TL
The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

About Silva Bingaz
Silva Bingaz (b. Malatya), a photographer of Turkish and Armenian origins, lives and works in Istanbul. In her works, she attempts to reveal the human soul in the simplest way possible by focusing on its created values and efforts to protect itself from the hierarchy imposed by authority. Her images of urban landscapes and portraits of individuals allude to birth and death, masculinity and strength, and love and the unknown, all while searching to lift the veil on a city, beyond the specifics of time and place.
Pera Museum presents an exhibition of French artist Félix Ziem, one of the most original landscape painters of the 19th century. This week we are sharing Ziem’s work inspired by Istanbul and “the East”!
French artist Félix Ziem is one of the most original landscape painters of the 19thcentury. 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.
Félix Ziem is accepted as one of the well-known artists of the romantic landscape painting, and has been followed closely by art lovers and collectors of all periods since. He had a profound influence on generations of artists after him, and was the first artist whose works were acquired by the Louvre while he was still alive.
