2023Best.-Nr. B2307033Istanbul Modern 2023. New. n/a n/a In Another Place presents never-before-seen portraits by Nuri Bilge Ceylan one of the most authentic filmmakers of todays cinema. The exhibition brings together works that are unlike what the artist has created thus far: 22 portraits taken by Ceylan in Türkiye and geographies around the world as diverse as India Georgia China Morocco and Russia. Among the qualities that the portraits share are the relationships the characters establish with the built environment and natural landscapes carefully constructed photographic atmospheres the use of dramatic light the dialogue between different colors understated emotions and calm facial expressions. Ceylans portraits point to the depth of human experiences that bind us together while simultaneously bringing to mind that our lives cannot be separated from geography. The reference to another place in the exhibition title and series not only evokes the many countries to which Ceylan has traveled it also refers to the characters of his cinema who desire to be somewhere other than where they are. Revealing the daily struggles loneliness boredom and melancholy of people around the world through his subjects who gaze directly at the photographer and therefore also at us Ceylan focuses on the common emotions across geographies rather than the differences. The unique formal language in all of Ceylans photographs activate our imagination and make us feel connected to people and geographies that we have never been to or experienced.

In good condition lightly aged and creased. Folded for postage. Signed 'J. Vijaya T'. In writing a review for Dosse he has ‘exceeded the 600 words’ and rather than ‘cut it down’ he ‘thought it better that you and the Editor see all that I had to say and decide what to retain and what to delete. / I only hope that Krishna Menon’s nervous breakdown and my clap are retained.’ With regard to the ‘plagiarism’ of Mulk Raj Anand he is enclosing cuttings from Evergreen Review not present. In future he will ‘keep to the strict limit but having known Amita Malik Mulk Raj A and others I could not restrain myself. All this is hackneyed work on their part used time without number.’ He ends by thanking him for ‘sending me this interesting though provocative book’. 20 May 1974; Flat 8 King Edward Mansions, Grape Street, London WC2. unknown
