Eye shot the sheriff

  These pieces are done by David Moreno, and they are for his own collection. They were hanging at the 13th Istanbul Biennial shown in Antrepo by the title of 'Mom, am I barbarian?'

The biennial in general uses the subject of urban transformation and sends regards to Taksim Gezi Park too. 

But for me, it was nice to see these photos done with ink and a few drawings as well.

Capture this

I saw this piece hanging in a frame shop in Kadikoy. Liking all the details loads.

Yesilcam Sinemasi

Yesilcam Sinemasi is located in Beyoglu, right next to a rock bar. Its a very small place and has the most amazing selection of films. Its where i saw İmagine & Samsara. 
You get to sit wherever you would like, there isn't anyone to show you where you should be sitting (as its done in almost every cinema in istanbul) 
'Its a free spirited cinema' says Guven Celik. 
The tickets are very cheap, and sometimes he says he takes students for free screenings. Its a lovely space, you should come  and enjoy your ride in the movies.

Samsara

Finally i got to watch Samsara! What an imagery, what a soundtrack! I was watching a documentary loving every second of it. You can find the whole movie in youtube or vimeo.

Istanbul Modern-ing it.

Yesterday, we went to see a performance by Mihran Tomasyan by the name of ' Sen balik degilsin ki'  
after the performance we stayed for the talk.

The performance artist said that when he put a show in batman/Turkey, in the scene where the reporter died a guy also jumped and threw himself on the floor. And when the artist and the guy who threw himself talked the guy said 'I assumed that everyone was going to do the same' i thought that was interesting. And so was the show.

Tomasyan also said 'I think wars should be done with colors.
Lets fight with our thoughts, lets argue over ideas.' 

The photographs are by an amazing artist Serhat Neidim.
