Intimacy and entertainment, melancholy and madness, modesty and desire, birth and disappearance. Four girls, four boys. This phantasmagoria dramatically animates the faces of men and women in a fantastical and poetic atmosphere; lyrical and passionate, between Earth and Cosmos, along the way towards their Metamorphoses. Metamorphoses made its debut as a video performance presented in last year’s solo show at Hors Pistes 2014.
You try to remember the future. A bird painted on the ceramic panel in a historical palace has found its place on the wall. The tiles of a church and a mosque have been painted on canvas. The pattern of a centuries-old ceramic plate appears before you on a velvet curtain.
Pera Museum Blog is launching a new series of creepy stories in collaboration with Turkey’s Fantasy and Science Fiction Arts Association (FABISAD). The Association’s member writers are presenting newly commissioned short horror stories inspired by the artworks of Mario Prassinos as part of the Museum’s In Pursuit of an Artist: Istanbul-Paris-Istanbul exhibition. The third story is by Murat Başekim! The stories will be published online throughout the exhibition. Stay tuned!
