Sight-seeing in Sultanahmet, went into the Cistern, a Roman aqueduct that supplied the water for Byzantium (which became Constantinople, and then Istanbul). It’s held up by pilfered Doric and Ionic columns, and two Medusa heads.
This contemporary video projected hands into the water underneath a stretched screen. I don’t know if it’s part of the Biennial, but it certainly added to this lovely treat of a museum.

that's one of my favorite places in Istanbul... so hard to photograph well, though! you got a nice one.
seems like you're having a great trip... jealous.
Yeah, it was a great trip. Nice to visit some of those really touristy sites again. Almost no Americans there, mostly Spanish.
Hope you get to return, too!
A great city
