Curatorial context
Eye Filmmuseum is hosting 'Nuri Bilge Ceylan – Inner Landscapes,' the inaugural Dutch exhibition dedicated to the celebrated Turkish filmmaker and photographer. The exhibition features a unique combination of Ceylan's prize-winning films and his less-exhibited landscape photographs, revealing his masterful photographic eye, strong sense of composition, and deeply compassionate exploration of universal themes from a distinct Turkish perspective.
Born in Istanbul, Ceylan's work is deeply influenced by his rural childhood and explores the complexities of the human condition. His protagonists grapple with personal struggles, seeking connection and overcoming loneliness, with themes often rooted in recent Turkish history and its contrasts. The exhibition highlights how Ceylan's landscapes, whether urban or rural, serve as more than mere backdrops, reflecting and influencing the inner lives of his characters. Originally a photographer, Ceylan's cinematographic works demonstrate a strong photographic sensibility, while his large-format photographs exude a cinematic quality, weaving together his two primary artistic mediums.
