Murathan Özbek: Taş Düşedursun at Galeri Siyah Beyaz, Ankara — 16 Oct–21 Nov 2026

Founded in 1984, Ankara’s Galeri Siyah Beyaz opens a solo photography exhibition by Murathan Özbek built around Iceland’s volcanic terrain and one question that came to the artist before a massive boulder: was Sisyphus’s stone like this? Özbek folds the body of artist Ekin Bernay into the landscape to explore the relationship between body and geography.
