Everyday, small pieces of daily life are filmed, whatever the weather, whatever the mood and regardless of which city they’re filmed in; they form an opera of short stories and wider movements, a collective intimacy, shared with the outside world. Narimane Mari films urban spaces and those who set the scene in several cities across the world. Through her travels and wanderings, her appointments and shopping trips, the film captures the flâneurs and the workers, the movement that punctuates the narrative and form of cities. She looks at and lives through the everyday in order to extract their poetry and make it into a film, for which everyone can collectively create the sound.

Between 1963 and 1966 Andy Warhol worked at making film portraits of all sorts of characters linked to New York art circles. Famous people and anonymous people were filmed by Andy Warhol’s 16 mm camera, for almost four minutes, without any instructions other than ‘to get in front of the camera’.
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.
