This huge task isn’t quite complete (will it ever be?) and red curtains conceal several unfinished boxes. In his museum, Pamuk set out to create a glass-covered box, or other visual interpretation, to represent each of the book’s 83 chapters, giving each box the corresponding title. Orhan Pamuk’s numbered boxes correspond to chapters in his novel The Museum of Innocence All the pictures by Refik Anadol shown here are taken with permission from the book. It’s just come out and Pamuk’s text about the project is as illuminating as it promised to be. I bought the Turkish edition of The Innocence of Objects, a richly illustrated book about the museum, and have been waiting for Abrams’ English translation. In my earlier post, I wanted to show pictures of the museum’s displays, but hadn’t been able to take any because photography isn’t allowed. This small, beautifully realized, vertical display, which occupies a burgundy-hued house in the city’s Çukurcuma neighborhood, is a parallel project planned for many years by Pamuk as a development of his 2008 novel, also titled The Museum of Innocence. The Museum of Innocence at the corner of Çukurcuma Street and Dalgiç Street, IstanbulĪ while back, I wrote here about The Museum of Innocence created in Istanbul by the Turkish novelist and Nobel Prize winner Orhan Pamuk.
