In present-day Athens, a city dominated by Americanized behaviors and life-styles, a young man aged about 20 lives with his widowed mother in one of the countless nondescript apartments lost in the great concrete jungle of the city. He wants to study astronomy at the University, and spends most of his time scrutinizing the stars and the surrounding world through an ancient telescope. On the other side of the wide avenue lives Stella with her husband and daughter. Trapped in the dull routine of a meaningless marriage devoid of joy or pleasure, she feels her youth slipping away and grey middle-age creeping up on her. Haris falls in love with her, but what are the prospects for love in this city?
It is understood from Evliya Çelebi’s well-known Book of Travels that the history of sea baths goes as far back as the 17th century; their acceptance and popularization take place in mid-19th century as a result of Westernization, among other things.
Pera Museum, in collaboration with Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), is one of the main venues for this year’s 15th Istanbul Biennial from 16 September to 12 November 2017.
The shrines that created the glory of Constantinople through their lavish beauty were also repositories of precious relics and thus sources of healing.
