EXHIBITION DEDICATED TO ARA GYULER’S 77TH ANNIVERSARY OPENS
ISTANBUL, AUGUST 17, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. According to
“Marmara,” an exhibition organized on the occasion of the 77th
anniversary of Ara Gyuler, a Turkish Armenian photographer, is covered
by numerous Turkish newspapers. On August 16, “Zama” paid attention
to Ara Gyuler’s art. Oulkyu Eozel responded Ara Gyuler’s theory,
according to which a photo is not a photo if there is no person in
it. “Even the picture of the Saint Sofia temple will cost nothing
if there is no person passing in front of it,” Gyuler said in the
interview given to the newspaper. “Everything has been created for
people: a plane is for people, temples are for people. There is
no civilization without people. There is no photo without people,
either,” he said. Ara Gyuler also mentioned that only thirty photos
from his hundreds of thousands pictures will stay in history.
