Keribar's latest project "Millennium" will be displayed at Gallery Işık from Sept. 18 to Oct. 11. The veteran artist, who will celebrate his 60th year as a photographer, collected his photographs taken in 70 countries and from different regions in Anatolia for "Millennium," which will open an unusual passage though the contemporary understanding of photography and Kehribar's photos.The veteran photographer collected his photographs taken in 70 countries and from different regions in Anatolia for "Millennium," which will open an unusual passage though the contemporary understanding of photography and Kehribar's photos.The exhibition will also transport hundreds of years of knowledge, culture and spirit into the present. Merih Akoğul, a photographer with 30 years of experience, reviewed Keribar's "Millennium," and said: "Wherever or whenever Kehribar's photographs are taken, regardless of their subjects, they are related to each other in terms of structure, and they open the doors of a new world to us ... our master Keribar presents his humanist personality through his works in 'Millennium' while signaling that the only way to end the chaos in our world, which has been shaken with wars, is fine arts."Considered as a summary of Keribar's photographic experience, "Millennium" gives place to Morocco's blue town of Chefchaouen, Mimar Sinan's greatest building the Selimiye Mosque, the colorful cars of Cuba and mysterious masks in Venice. The exhibition takes its visitors on a journey through history and dimension.
