Samih Rifat’s notebooks, journals, photographs, documentaries, and ideas open a window onto the cultural memory of his era. Produced as part of Pera Museum’s 20th-anniversary projects, the video for the exhibition “SAMİH RİFAT: ‘There’s So Much Work To Do’ photographs, films, drawings, poems, notebooks, books, and music…” portrays Rifat through the eyes of his friend and collaborator Özalp Birol and the exhibition’s consultant, photographer Esra Özdoğan. Director: Burak Soley Executive Producer: Volkan Şenozan Project Coordinators: Günseli Türkay, Işık Marangoz, Zeynep Sarı Drawing on Rifat’s body of work—which he approached as an “act of art and thought,” uncompromising in both ethics and aesthetics—the exhibition seeks to open up his creative process and to understand a true polymath whom we lost too soon. It also stands as a project of homage. summary
