Based on Marilú Mallet's experiences as a Chilean immigrant in Canada, the documentary is a poignant self-portrait filmed nine years after the director's exile from Chile. The narrative revolves around Mallet's attempt to make a film reflecting his deep sense of loneliness in a foreign land. Throughout the documentary, Mallet faces various challenges, including criticism from her film director husband, who disapproves of her approach to filmmaking.
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.
As artisanship became a part of artistic practices with the blurring of art and craft, the use of traditional motifs has also flourished. In this context, how are these motifs currently structured or designed beyond their traditional connotations?
Pera Museum presents an exhibition of French artist Félix Ziem, one of the most original landscape painters of the 19th century. The exhibition Wanderer on the Sea of Light presents Ziem as an artist who left his mark on 19th century painting and who is mostly known for his paintings of Istanbul and Venice, where the city and the sea are intertwined.
