“The 90s had a pretty bad start”, this is how Vincent Dieutre introduces us to the shadows of his personal universe in those years. Utrecht, Naples, Rome... Three cities and two love stories guide us through the nocturnal itinerary of a man searching for beauties past in the 90s. The first part of the “Films of Europe” cycle constitutes a geographical and sentimental trip through the shadowy art and Caravaggio. An essay, a travelogue, a documentary, a fiction film, this memoir reconstitutes by fragments a fatal journey.

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.

In his book exploring the cultural history of souvenirs, Rolf Potts discusses how such objects assume meaning through personal stories: Objects turn into memories with the stories they hold.
