Colors of Bosporus from My Window is the result of a collaboration between Turkish artist Faruk Bil and Calin Segal.
The project emerges from a singular ritual: Faruk’s daily act of looking through his window onto the Bosporus Strait, where the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara meet in a ceaseless, fluid negotiation. Over years, he has gathered thousands of photographs from this exact vantage, not to document change, but to surrender to it. Each image is a meditation, a gesture of fidelity to the subtle choreography of water, light, and time.
Rather than presenting this archive as static material, the installation transforms it into a living perceptual field. Drawing on the conceptual depth of Faruk’s doctoral research and powered by generative algorithms, the work animates his photographs into an evolving visual organism. Artificial intelligence is not used here to replicate, but to attune trained to echo the quiet, shifting intensity of the Bosphorus itself.
Visitors are not passive viewers. They step into a space where vision becomes duration, where memory is created in real time. The installation responds to presence, changing with each interaction.
What unfolds is not simply an aesthetic experience, but an invitation: to slow down, to witness, to let the world impress itself upon you without needing to be mastered. In this way, Colors of Bosphorus becomes not a window onto the world, but a sustained act of devotion a reenactment of seeing as a mode of being with.
