Pera Film presents Pera Museum's Miniature 2.0: Miniature in Contemporary Art exhibition themed selection online.
The Miniature 2.0: Miniature in Contemporary Art exhibition is a collection of works that take miniature as a point of departure, showcasing different approaches to miniature and the principles they have in common. What the artists in the exhibition have in common is the fact that they look at the world through the lens of miniatures. The program titled Stepping In, Stepping Out features three films that trace the reflection of the subjects the artists in the exhibition address through miniature, and that try to offer both an insider’s and an outsider’s view on their stories.
Taking place between January 11 - 24, the program includes Her First, a film interlaced with many questions–sometimes replied and sometimes left afloat–that tells the story of being a woman, a working woman, a woman filmmaker in Turkish cinema, told by 14 female directors; Ali Kemal Çınar’s second feature film titled Hidden, which tells the story of a young man who finds out that he will turn into a woman when he turns 30; and the award-winning documentary Married to the Camera, which offers a direct, truth-driven account of Esra Erol’s famous TV show with striking behind the scenes footage as well as actual footage from the show.
The films will be streamed at peramuseum.org between January 11 - 24, and only be accessible to online audiences in Turkey.
Due to its existence behind closed doors, the lifestyle and attires of the women in the Harem have been one of the most fascinating topics for western painters and art enthusiasts alike.
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.
