The use of the word ‘Miscellaneous’ in the title of this exhibition reflects Ara Güler’s frequent use of it when labelling collections of photographs of a particular subject in his archive. The exhibition consists of 58 black-and-white photographs of Istanbul taken by Ara Güler (a man described as ‘the Eye of Istanbul’), the Leica camera with which he took them, a selection of the slides in his archive and the boxes he kept them in, and samples of the contact prints he made during the 1950s and 1960s.

Also on view are the typewriter on which he typed his short stories, the notebook in which he wrote his stories during his lycée years, and a copy of the Haber newspaper in which one these stories – İstanbul’da Sabah (‘Morning in Istanbul’) – was published.
