ATOTAL

Performance

January 23, 2025 / 20:30

Pera Museum presents a multimedia performance titled ATOTAL as part of the exhibition In Search of Vera Molnár. The artist Antoine Schmitt, who is featured in the exhibition with the work titled “100 Square Ensemble” is collaborating with composer and musician Franck Vigroux for this performance.

Exploring the concept of hyper-synchronisation between sound and visuals, the elements are gradually deconstructed during the performance, which creates a dynamic interplay that challenges perceptions of reality. The performance engages the audience in a profound sensory experience.

Ticket prices for the event, which will be held in the Pera Museum Auditorium, are 400 TL and are available for purchase at Biletix.com or from the reception desk at Pera Museum on the day of the event. Pera Museum Friendship Program members will enjoy a 20% discount. Seating will be unnumbered.

About ATOTAL
The total work of art, when pushed to its paroxysm of absolute coincidence of the perceptions of a captive spectator, is similar to the techniques of mental manipulation of totalitarian regimes, proceeding by annihilation of the critical mind, repetitive semantic pounding, subliminal messages. ATOTAL is an audiovisual show aiming to reconstruct in order to better deconstruct the processes of imposition of will by repetition and absolute synchronism, to propose a breach to a potentially life-saving decoincidence.

In Search of Vera Molnár

In Search of Vera Molnár offers a close look at the practice of Vera Molnár, one of the pioneers of computer art, and brings together works by contemporary artists inspired by her work.

Istanbul-Paris-Istanbul: Mario Prassinos

Mario Prassinos liked Istanbul more than the current Istanbulites of today. It is obvious that you can understand this from the article written by her daughter Catherine Prassinos in the Pera Museum's book on the artist.

The Greek god Apollo and his son Asklepios presided over the realm of medicine and healing. Apollo was also the god of light and sun, whose solar symbolism and association with medicine would become linked to Christ the Physician, and the resurrected.

When the Royal Academy of Arts offered Stephen Chambers the opportunity to produce new work for a focused exhibition in the Weston Rooms of the Main Galleries, Chambers turned to print and the possibilities it offered.
