As part of the The Dream of the Avant-Garde program, presented in collaboration with Othon Cinema and the Österreichische Kulturforum Istanbul, Pera Film showcases a selection of films by American director Eve Heller. Following the screening of the short film selection titled Poetic Manipulations on the same day, a discussion with Eve Heller will take place.
About Eve Heller
Avant-garde filmmaker Eve Heller was born in the United States, where she worked with both first and second-generation American experimental filmmakers such as Paul Sharits, Tony Conrad, Abigail Child, Peggy Ahwesh, and Peter Hutton. Since the late 1970s, Heller has created works characterized by their complexity and a deep curiosity about the artistic possibilities of film, especially about dreams, memory, and time. Her films regularly premiere at the New York Film Festival's "Views from the Avant-Garde" before being shown internationally. Since 2005, Heller has lived and worked in Austria. In 2018, she received the Niederösterreich Culture Prize for her contributions to experimental film. Her most recent film, Singing in Oblivion, premiered at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2021 and won the prestigious Mehrwert Award at the Viennale in 2022. Following the death of pioneering "found footage" filmmaker Phil Solomon in 2019, Heller and curator Mark McElhatten launched the Phil Solomon Project, dedicated to preserving and promoting Solomon's artistic and intellectual legacy.
The talk will be in English with Turkish consecutive translation. Free admissions. Limited space, drop in, no reservations.
Three figures in Eastern dress are shown in repose against an exotic landscape, smoking pipes and playing mangala. Inventories of the royal collections from 1739 identify the members of this group as the royal eunuch Matthias and two odalisques.
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.
The exhibition Look at Me! Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection examines portraiture, one of the oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our times. Through the exhibition we will be sharing about the artists and sections in “Look At Me!”.
