In collaboration with Başka Sinema, Pera Museum presents video essays by After Yang director, Kogonada!
Director of the acclaimed Columbus, his first feature-length film, and After Yang, which premiered at the Istanbul Film Festival and released on July 1 by Başka Sinema, Kogonada is now at Pera Museum with his series of video essays.
These essays, which offer a unique look at the history of cinema and directors, are testament to Kogonada’s deep-rooted knowledge of and love for cinema. Video essays form the core of his work and the essence of Kogonada’s art as a director, and represent a novel way of watching and understanding the works of renowned directors. His video essays also influenced the style of his latest film, After Yang, where the director creates art out of art using time, space, expressions, objects, images, reflection, gestures and moments from daily life.
The series consists of 21 video essays that offer a unique insight into the works of directors such as Yasujiro Ozu, Richard Linklater, Wes Anderson, Andrei Tarkovsky, Robert Bresson, Ingmar Bergman, Alfred Hitchcock, Jean-Luc Godard, as well as Kogonada’s own works commissioned by prestigious film institutions like Criterion and BIFA.
The program titled Kogonada: Video Essays will take place at Pera Museum Auditorium on July 16-17. Admission is free of charge.

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!. This time we are sharing about Janine Antoni , exhibited under the section “The Conventions of Identitiy”!
He had imagined the court room as a big place. It wasn’t. It was about the size of his living room, with an elevation at one end, with a dais on it. The judges and the attorneys sat there. Below it was an old wooden rail, worn out in some places. That was his place. There was another seat for his lawyer. At the back, about 20 or 30 chairs were stowed out for the non-existent crowd.
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.
