Participants who visit PƎRⱯ Reverse are inspired by the work of Contact Zines, where each artist in the exhibition makes three-minute exploratory tours around Istanbul, taking notes and turning them into a collective sharing medium. Personal memory notebooks are designed in the workshop, which reflects on the relationship between collective memory and space. The notebooks designed by the participants in this workshop, where the places visited in the city are brought together with the tools of emotion and remembrance, continue to be shaped by the memories of each place visited after the workshop.

I remembered a game as I was waiting in the passenger lounge for the ferry to arrive just a few minutes ago. A game we used to play at home when I was young, in my country that is very far away from here, a relic from the distant past; I don’t even remember how we used to play it. The kind of game that makes me feel a thousand times lonelier than I already am among the crowd waiting to get on the ferry.
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.
A firm believer in the idea that a collection needs to be upheld at least by four generations and comparing this continuity to a relay race, Nahit Kabakcı began creating the Huma Kabakcı Collection from the 1980s onwards. 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.
