Once a week a ship arrives in the small, remote Aegean Island of Donousa. One winter’s day Stefan, a young German photographer comes to the island and his arrival triggers off a series of events that will bring to light the deepest secrets of a world that is hermetically shut off, trapped in a vicious whirlwind where the same sin, the same mistake, the same blood, the same silences are reproduced. The story unfolds smoothly and reaches a climax without violent flare-ups as if following the pace of life in this forgotten land. A strange, claustrophobic atmosphere for a modern tragedy that has left nothing out of the traditional arsenal: from the chorus and the deus ex machina to the final catharsis.
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.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Pera Museum invites artist Benoît Hamet to reinterpret key pieces from its collections, casting a humourous eye over ‘historical’ events, both imagined and factual.
