5 Essential Istanbul Experiences – 4

This extract is from ‘Travel Tales from Exotic Places like Salford’

Istanbul Modern has permanent and temporary exhibition galleries of mainly modern paintings, a photography gallery, a library, a cinema, and a café. Its educational and social
programs are aimed at all ages and are changed often enough to encourage visitors to keep coming back to visit the gallery. Recent exhibitions of photographs showed the views from
people’s windows in various cities throughout the world. Another video installation showed a person’s face on one screen and the back of their head on a screen behind. Occasionally the person would turn around and so the images on the screens were reversed. This was a surprisingly diverting piece.
