The participants, who tour the Istanbuls Today exhibition which includes photographs approaching the present of Istanbul from different angles, photograph the buildings around the museum. The participants create a different "contemporary Istanbul narrative" by following the traces of the structures that have remnants of the city's past and are places of memory. Photographer Engin Gerçek and the participants will take photos together using special lenses for building photography (Tilt-shift lens) and process them on the computer. The workshop is open to everyone who loves photography and architecture.
Note: Participants without a camera can participate in the workshop with their smartphones.
Capacity: 10 people
Duration: 240 minutes
Fee per workshop: 300 TL
The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

About Engin Gerçek
The artist, who provides services on architectural photography and visual design at Studio Majo, of which he is the founder, also produces personal works in the field of social documentation. He teaches photography classes at Medipol University-Media and the Visual Arts Department. In his architectural photography, Gerçek adopts a process that highlights the features and aesthetics of the building and is supported by post-shooting interventions; aims to produce frames that do not involve post-shooting to emphasize the surrealism of the street in social documentation works.
Suggesting alternative models for new social and economic systems, SUPERFLEX works appear before us as energy systems, beverages, sculptures, copies, hypnosis sessions, infrastructure, paintings, plant nurseries, contracts, or specifically designed public spaces.

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
