Salon: Paulien Oltheten and Savas Boyraz
For this event, Paulien Oltheten will perform one of her “Sort of Lectures” in which she interweaves different works in a narrative structure, layering them in form and time: with a camera in her hand, she browses through piled up photographs, zooms in on details, films paper sheets with text comments, and shows moving image; all directly projected onto the screen. The result appears as a kind of performed archive, an anthropological study, and documentary.
Savas Boyraz will show photographs and video excerpts from his on-going work and will speak about his chosen narrative forms and motives behind this new work. Boyraz focuses on portrait photography, documentary and fiction narratives. His work straddles the gap between nation state and cultural linguistic entities; he tries to shed light on the overlooked and omitted corners of societies and their history.
