Presenting a selection that invites reflection on the boundaries of seeing, recording, and interpreting, Photographer invites the viewer to question the nature of the gaze, the perception of reality, and the memory of the image.
As part of the program prepared in parallel with the Samih Rifat: “Much Is to Be Done” exhibition, documentaries about master photographers Sebastião Salgado, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Josef Koudelka, and Bill Cunningham — featured in Rifat’s photography book Akla Kara Arası (Between Black and White) — will be showcased, alongside two iconic fictional films that have left a lasting mark on cinema history.
Among the films to be screened at the Pera Museum Auditorium are: The Salt of the Earth, which traces Salgado’s journey from human tragedies to the natural world; Alfred Hitchcock’s classic Rear Window, where a photographer becomes entangled in a mystery; Michelangelo Antonioni’s masterpiece Blow-Up, centered around the trail of a randomly taken photograph; Koudelka: Crossing the Same River, accompanying legendary photographer Josef Koudelka’s explorations among the ancient ruins of the Mediterranean; and Bill Cunningham New York, focusing on the legendary New York fashion photographer.
Additionally, Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Impassioned Eye, focusing on Cartier-Bresson’s life and photographic vision, will be available for online screening on the Pera Museum’s website.
Film screenings within this program are accessible with a discounted museum entrance ticket. Tickets can be purchased from Biletix or the reception of Pera Museum. Per legal regulations, all screenings are restricted to persons over 18 years of age unless stated otherwise.

Giacometti worked nonstop on his sculptures, either from nature or from memory, trying to capture the universal facial expressions.
The wind blows, rubbing against my legs made of layers of metal and wires, swaying the leaves of grass that have shot up from the cracks in the tarmac, and going off to the windows that look like the eyes of dead children in the wrecked buildings that seem to be everywhere as far as the eye can see.
While Paula Rego belatedly was recognised as one of the leading feminist pioneers of her age, little has been written about her exploration of fluid sexuality. Indeed the current of sado-masochism in her drawings and paintings, has tended to encourage an understanding as a classic clash between the patriarchy and exploited women.
