The White Ribbon describes the community of a small German village in the year immediately preceding World War I. This collective treats lone characters harshly. Punishment within families is gruesomely banal. People also, inexplicably, disappear. Through these calculations of invisible violence, collective silence and the uncomfortable question of culpability, Haneke examines a – dramatized – historical moment in which a long and complex ambivalence between Germans and their sense of national identity is rooted.
Pera Museum, in collaboration with Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), is one of the main venues for this year’s 15th Istanbul Biennial from 16 September to 12 November 2017. Through the biennial, we will be sharing detailed information about the artists and the artworks.
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!
Although mythological themes are not commonly encountered in Turkish painting, it is possible to see variations of widespread themes such as the Venus at her Toilet.
