This special exhibition will present a series of extraordinary ultra-large-scale photographs, many over six feet tall, by the renowned Turkish photographer Ahmet Ertuğ. Focusing on paintings, mosaics, and architecture of the Byzantine world (6–14th centuries AD), the photos provide a journey through such venerated sites as Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia and Church of Christ in Chora, as well as churches in the Cappadocia region of central Turkey.
Part I takes place from Friday, October 1, 2010 – Sunday, January 23, 2011, and Part II continues from Friday, February 4, 2011 – Sunday, May 29, 2011.
The exhibition is being held at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology at the University of Michigan. More about the event can be found on their Web site.
