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.
It is understood from Evliya Çelebi’s well-known Book of Travels that the history of sea baths goes as far back as the 17th century; their acceptance and popularization take place in mid-19th century as a result of Westernization, among other things.
Our Doublethink Double vision exhibition’s title alludes to George Orwell’s seminal work 1984 and presents a selection that includes Tracey Emin, Marcel Dzama, Anselm Kiefer, Bruce Nauman, Raymond Pettibon, and Thomas Ruff, as well as Turkish artists, tracing the steps of pluralistic thought through works of art.
Our institutions have been stuck on linear Neo-Platonic tracks for 24 centuries. These antiquated processes of deduction have lost their authority. Just like art it has fallen off its pedestal. Legal, educational and constitutional systems rigidly subscribe to these; they are 100% text based.
