Ara Güler: A Play of Light and Shadow

Through four sections, The Iconic, The Historic, The Ambassador, and The Personal, the visitor is immersed in Güler’s photographic practice from his iconic work as a photojournalist to his remarkable experimental work. His evocative black-and-white photographs show his profound love for Istanbul and Turkey. The exhibition will also be accompanied by the eponymous publication A Play of Light and Shadow, with contributions from several specialists in the field.

The exhibition is a close collaboration between Foam, co-curator Ahmet Polat and the Ara Güler Museum.
