TIME OUT ISTANBUL: CAN I SEE YOUR DOCUMENTS?


David LaChapelle is as a super famous artistic illusionist, and draws the most attention with his fantastical and surreal projects that include the reconstruction and re-identification of such uber celebrities as, Michael Jackson, Paris Hilton, Alexander McQueen, Lady Gaga, Madonna and more. His 1950s-esque Leonardo DiCaprio portrait, called Nostalgic Styling; Warhol and popart infused Marilyn portrait, Amanda as Warhol; Death by Hamburger; and his outrageous creations like Deluge, Museum and more, will all be on parade in Istanbul as part of his Documents of Desire & Disaster exhibit. After displaying his works in New York, the wild-at-heart artist brings his exhibit to its second address ever, in Istanbul. The Paul Kasmin Gallery plans to give an artistic air to Istanbul of the likes we’ve never seen before. Especially since the Akaretler district, thanks to businessman, Serdar Bilgili, has been undergoing a cultural renaissance as of late. This project will be displayed across seven stores from December 10-January 29.
