Cheryl Donegan’s work integrates experimental video narrative with other forms such as painting, drawing and installation. Her videos put a subversive spin on issues of gender, art history and pop culture. Channeling in 4 Versions develops a dream fantasy that mixes television comedy and psychedelia, starting with the music of the rock opera Tommy, by The Who (1969), and the 1970s film of the same name starring Ann-Margret.
Among the most interesting themes in the oeuvre of Prassinos are cypresses, trees, and Turkish landscapes. The cypress woods in Üsküdar he saw every time he stepped out on the terrace of their house in İstanbul or the trees in Petits Champs must have been strong images of childhood for Prassinos.
Ali Sami is born in Rusçuk in 1866, and moves to İstanbul. Because his family is registered in the Beylerbeyi quarter of Üsküdar, Ali Sami is also called Üsküdarlı Ali Sami. He graduates from the Mühendishane-i Berri-i Hümayun in 1866 and becomes a teacher of painting and photography at the school.
