Tuesday - Saturday: 11.00 - 19.00
A selection of works by Yusuf Sevinçli is currently on view at Istanbul Modern as part of the group exhibition curated by Çelenk Bafra and Demet Yıldız Dinçer, titled Panorama: Dreams and Places, until October 18, 2026.
Aiming to present a thematic narrative on contemporary photography and lens-based art in Türkiye, Panorama: Dreams and Places brings together a comprehensive selection of works produced since the 2010s by 18 artists from different generations. The exhibition is on view in the galleries on the first floor of Istanbul Modern.
The participating artists respond to the pressures and upheavals of today’s world through dreamlike landscapes, alternative visual geographies, and imagined realms shaped by their artistic practices. Through abstract topographies, fictional portraits, and inner spaces, these works do not offer an escape but rather create spaces where breathing – and pausing – become possible again. Reflecting the artists’ inquiries and explorations into the possibilities of photography, the exhibition spans a wide range of practices, from installations and moving images to artificial intelligence applications and archival materials. In doing so, it reminds us that photography not only reflects the world but also constructs new emotional and spatial imaginaries, inviting moments of stillness, contemplation, and renewal.
