Early morning in Paris, fragments of lives... A man comes home early from celebrating the millennium; a young woman dies of an overdose; two people meet and have sex; a man has a disturbing erotic experience in the Metro... Vincent Dieutre opens the exploration of his Paris district, Bonne Nouvelle, with a 360° pan shot. Told in three voices, with Eva Truffaut and Bojena Horackova, these micro-stories of flirting and drugs serve as fictional parables. The image of an unmade bed is the starting point from which Dieutre sets out in search of lost time and territories.

Following the screening of this film, Vincent Dieutre’s festival talk will take place at Pera Museum at 17.00.

It’s better to burn out than to fade away

In 1962 Philip Corner, one of the most prominent members of the Fluxus movement, caused a great commotion in serious music circles when during a performance entitled Piano Activities he climbed up onto a grand piano and began to kick it while other members of the group attacked it with saws, hammers and all kinds of other implements.

Fluid Identities Creating an Identity / Hybrid Identities

A firm believer in the idea that a collection needs to be upheld at least by four generations and comparing this continuity to a relay race, Nahit Kabakcı began creating the Huma Kabakcı Collection from the 1980s onwards. Today, the collection can be considered one of the most important and outstanding examples among the rare, consciously created, and long-lasting ones of its kind in Turkey.
