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.

From two portraits of children…

The Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation’s Orientalist Painting Collection includes two children’s portraits that are often featured in exhibitions on the second floor of the Pera Museum. These portraits both date back to the early 20th century, and were made four years apart. One depicts Prince Abdürrahim Efendi, son of Sultan Abdulhamid II, while the figure portrayed on the other is Nazlı, the daughter of Osman Hamdi Bey.

Return from Vienna

Józef Brandt harboured a fascination for the history of 17th century Poland, and his favourite themes included ballistic scenes and genre scenes before and after the battle proper –all and sundry marches, returns, supply trains, billets and encampments, patrols, and similar motifs illustrating the drudgery of warfare outside of its culminating moments.
