İstanbul Modern Marks World Photography Day with Portraits of Photographers in Its Collection

İstanbul Modern has marked World Photography Day with a social-media selection featuring portraits of photographers represented in its collection. The museum described the post as a celebration through “a selection of portraits of the photographers in our collection.”

The item was published on İstanbul Modern’s official account on 19 August 2026. It does not announce an exhibition, event programme or new acquisition, and no venue or public presentation beyond the online post is specified.

The selection identifies Yıldız Moran, with the accompanying text listing “Yıldız V. Moran - Öz Y” and “Yıldız V.” The available source does not provide further information about the image titles, dates, authorship, number of photographs included or the other photographers featured.

The post places the portraits within the context of İstanbul Modern’s photography collection, but gives no additional curatorial statement or details about the collection’s scope. It also does not indicate whether the portraits are photographic works by the named artists, portraits of them made by others, or part of a larger sequence.

Because the announcement is a brief World Photography Day social-media post, no further exhibition dates, related programming or access information are available in the source material. The post remains limited to the online selection and its identification of Yıldız Moran and the associated text “Yıldız V. Moran - Öz Y” and “Yıldız V.”
