Murat Germen
No full textMilan-based publisher Skira printed a comprehensive monograph of Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences member Murat Germen. Established in 1928, Skira is one of the most prestigious artistic publishers in the world, and their monograph on Murat Germen explores the boundaries of the artist's experimental and documentary work that culminates in different imageries in photographic narrative. Murat Germen’s book is the first comprehensive monograph on a Turkish artist published by Skira. Edited by Necmi Sönmez, the book includes contributions by leading international curators such as Stephan Berg and Kerstin Stremmel as well as a piece by Necmi Sönmez himself.
The 100-page book contains almost sixty color and black-and-white photographs by Germen from his internationally acclaimed series Muta-morphosis and Facsimile that focus on major cities of the world becoming identical to each other driven by economic motives. Murat Germen's nearly encyclopedic approach on major cities interpret the planning dynamics of a wide range of settlements from Chicago to Singapore, Cairo and Iceland based on the various strata observed in the cities.
Although an impressive photograph of Hong Kong is featured on the cover of Murat Germen’s book, the artist's favorite subject through his lens is Istanbul. Germen seeks to create alternative Istanbul cityscapes in both “Muta-morphosis” and “Facsimile”, paying homage to the characteristics of the city that are set to disappear as a result of constant change.
What renders Germen’s photography in Muta-morphosis and Facsimile unique is the way in which he “distinctly” reveals, through the use of metaphors, the tempo of acceleration in social change, without further recourse to description or rhetoric.
This approach which reveals the various layers of global cities in essence, without criticizing, questioning or comparing, is first and foremost of a humanist nature; therefore, it does not emphasize either the human figure itself or its portrait, but, rather, its labor, its dedicated effort, and its creations. The city, fields of industrial production and nature shaped by the human hand form, as a leitmotif, the backbone of Murat Germen’s photography, and this should be seen as an internalization of both series.
The artist often performs this internalization in a manner that goes beyond photographic technique and assumes the character of contemporary art; it also reveals the development of his “personal point of view” through a challenging and genuinely interdisciplinary process

L’ultimo Murat
No full textSi chiude dunque così, con una condanna a morte per fucilazione, la vita di Gioacchino Murat sbarcato solo pochi giorni prima sulle spiagge di Pizzo insieme a uno sparuto gruppetto di uomini, ventisei, nel vano tentativo di riuscire a sollevare la popolazione e riconquistare il regno. “Conoscete il carattere di Murat” aveva sentenziato profeticamente Metternich a Talleyrand nei giorni del Congresso di Vienna, quando poteva ancora apparire utile all’Austria non pronunciarsi definitivamente sul destino politico di Murat re di Napoli. “Egli –proseguiva il cancelliere asburgico- si è contenuto fino a questo momento. Ma pazienza! Presto o tardi farà un passo falso e quello sarà allora il momento di approfittarne”. E questo passo falso - vale a dire la rovinosa guerra all’Austria in nome di una inattesa, prematura campagna per l’indipendenza e l’unità italiana lanciata nel marzo del 1815 - previsto, forse addirittura determinato dalle astuzie del cancelliere austriaco desideroso di liberarsi di un alleato troppo scomodo senza che questo dovesse necessariamente costituire un limite ai suoi disegni italiani, sarebbe stato così terribile, la caduta di Gioacchino così spaventosa che, soprattutto alla luce del dramma di Pizzo, risulta assai difficile ancora oggi per lo storico esprimere un giudizio sulle scelte di Murat e le conseguenze politiche e morali di quelle scelte
