WALL, ARCH, DOME

Byzantine Istanbul in The Eyes of Ottoman Photographers.

Revealed hundred-year old images from the Rumeli shores of the Bosphorus through the eyes of the 19th century Ottoman photographers, Suna and Inan Kirac Foundation is opening an exhibition by means of its "Old Istanbul Photographs Collection" including nearly 4.500 photographs today.

Wall, Arch and Dome allows us to make interesting and insightful observations on Byzntine monuments of Istanbul in the slightly faded and weathered photographs from the second half of the 19th century. Through these images, we are able to follow the traces of change over time.
