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.
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.

The Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation’s Orientalist Painting Collection includes two children’s portraits that are often featured in exhibitions on the second floor of the Pera Museum. These portraits both date back to the early 20th century, and were made four years apart. One depicts Prince Abdürrahim Efendi, son of Sultan Abdulhamid II, while the figure portrayed on the other is Nazlı, the daughter of Osman Hamdi Bey.
In this piece, Żmurko presents an exotic image of a harem chamber, replete with gleaming fabrics and scattered jewels, as a setting for the statuesquely beautiful body of an odalisque murdered “at the order of the padishah”.
In his book exploring the cultural history of souvenirs, Rolf Potts discusses how such objects assume meaning through personal stories: Objects turn into memories with the stories they hold.
