1001 Faces Of Orientalism Kitabı

S.U. Sakıp Sabancı Museum (SSM) explores the 1001 faces of Orientalism with its new exhibition. The exhibition, now open for visitors, studies the 19th century Orientalism analysing its effects on diversified areas such as literature, archaeology, painting, architecture, universal exhibitions, photography and fashion. Rare books, photographs from the archaeological excavation sites, examples of Ottoman architecture, interior and stage decorations, costumes, studio photographs and souvenirs are presented in the “1001 Faces of Orientalism” exhibition. The exhibition centred around Orientalist paintings and statues, is realised with the sponsorship of Çiftçi Towers, technology support of Teknosa and accommodation support of The Grand Tarabya. The exhibition examines Orientalism from a multi-dimensional perspective, during an era when the East became the focus of great interest in Europe, due to Napoléon Bonaparte’s Egyptian Campaign in 1798 along with the strong debates following Edward Said’s book Orientalism, published in 1978. The goal of the exhibition is not to see Orientalism as a unilateral discourse under the control of and centred on the West that divides cultures into two polarized groups, but also to look at this phenomenon from outside the European context and distinguish its multiple, diverse, and sometimes contradictory aspects.
