" Our dreams remain our dream "
Borusan Foundation, Perili Köşk mansion, Istanbul Turkey
Settled for 13th Istanbul Biennial, Thierry Dreyfus light and video installation, Our dreams remain our dreams will remain until 2016.
Commissioned by the Borusan Foundation, this work has been created for the BorusanContemporary museum, Thierry Dreyfus’s work is located in the bank of the Bosphorus on an isolated house which seems to be the guard of memory of the strait and of the city. Called Perili Kösk but also the « haunted mansion », this building is one of the most beautiful architectural examples of the Turkish heritage. It was neglected during many years before its restoration and its revival thanks to the Borusan holding.
Our dreams remain our dreams.
Like a dialog between the Bosphorus dreams and the building, this new installation catches the breath of the building with poetry and hope. As soon as the sunset and the light goes down, images will appear under the balconies, as if there where suddenly empty and connected to the building’s memory. Screening videos with different sensations and landscape views will be projected : sky, clouds, water, sun through trees or footprints
on the sand,…
These images will turn the building away from its first likeness, to reveal its dreams and to offer its sincere personality.
To leave and run away from the urban stress toward an adjourned time, to loose the gravity, to be sucked up in the dream’s windows or doors opened under the balconies… to see its own dreams and relive buried feelings.
