Ertil, a retired architect, spends his time designing 3D projects in pursuit of dreams of Turkey’s potential modernization. Outside, Istanbul builds itself layer upon layer, almost endlessly with its deep history. One day, Ertil receives the news that the building he lives in will be demolished due to its vulnerability to earthquakes. The documentary explores Ertil’s place in a new world as the gap between his dream world and reality grows ever deeper.
The crew will attend.
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
Pera Museum’s Cold Front from the Balkans exhibition curated by Ali Akay and Alenka Gregorič brings together contemporary artists from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.
Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
