Based on BBC editor and author J.R. Ackerley’s memoirs with the same title, this animated feature film depicts the fifteen-year-old friendship of him and his dog Tulip in the most realistic way. Just like the book itself, My Dog Tulip introduces Tulip with all its “dogness”, giving the most anatomical and sexual details. Accompanied by Christopher Plummer’s voice with a strong, cheeky British humor, the film was created with a hand-made digital animation technique.

How can the future be imagined by looking at a collection or an archive? The lasting quality of ceramics allows us to ponder how the future might be remembered through a ceramics collection, since they render conceivable time eternal.
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.
In the works of western painters, we encounter mosques as the primary architectural elements that reflect the identity of the city of Istanbul. Often we can recognize the depicted landscape as Istanbul simply from the mosques.
