The exhibition, prepared in cooperation with İSKİ (Istanbul Water and Sewerage Administration), İBB Miras and İFSAK (Istanbul Photography and Cinema Amateurs Association), can be visited between 19 December 2023 and 12 January 2024.
The memory of water, which emerged in Istanbul, where different architectural approaches came together over the centuries, is revived today through photographs. The exhibition is realized as one of the goals of the project launched in 2019 in cooperation with İSKİ and İFSAK . During the project process, arches, dams, galleries, scales, maksems, sedimentation tanks, cisterns and fountains, which are the elements of historical waterways, were photographed by İFSAK amateur artists. 3450 photographs selected from nearly 10,000 photographs taken by photographers over two years and four seasons were included in the scope of the project. The project, which includes photographs of historical water structures in Istanbul, aims to increase the recognition of the structures that are carefully maintained and restored by İSKİ , as well as strengthen the ties between water and art. The project, which includes the publication of a photo book as well as the exhibition, is the pioneer of different events to be organized under the title "Memory of Water" in the future, which will shed light on the history of water in Istanbul...
