> DETAIL INFO

In this exhibition organised parallel to the Istanbul Film Festival, Istanbul Concept Gallery introduces a selection of new artworks of a filmmaker, underpinned by his literature-infused outlook on the outside world. We welcome film director, screenwriter Ümit Ünal, the jury president of the Istanbul Film Festival this time with his photography. The exhibition presents 65 carefully selected photos taken by Ünal since 2012. All the images were captured with the camera on his own personal smartphone–some, instants from his journeys, some long haul, some short; some images are snapshots of daily yet curious observations, along with others that verge on abstract paintings. The exhibition also includes nine examples of Ünal’s portraiture photography. The selection promises his instantly recognizable visual aesthetics to those who are familiar with Ümit Ünal’s films, books and paintings while a brand-new world will welcome fans and newcomers alike.
