Born in 1961 in Istanbul, lives and works in Erzincan.

40-screen video installation

Among mismatched armchairs and salvaged furniture are forty television sets. Each screen plays the testimony of a different resident of Küba, a former settlement on the edge of Istanbul founded in the late 1960s by people fleeing political persecution. Each person speaks directly to the camera, recounting their memories, fears, beliefs, and dreams. The narratives overlap, and no one voice is given more weight than the others—a deliberate choice by the artist Kutluğ Ataman, who uses film to explore how identity forms through storytelling. Moving through the space, viewers piece together a portrait of a community shaped by migration, poverty, mutual protection, and survival.

Open from October 20 to 25, 10am to 7pm. Free access.

Students from the École du Louvre are available every day from October 20 to 25, 2pm to 5:30pm, to provide visitors with information.
