Revisibility: Datça Aphrodite Project

Unveiling of the Datça Aphrodite Sculpture

Planned for Septembre ‘25.

What kind of the Aphrodite Statue will appear? Where will she be placed? If the statue "Ubiquity of Aphrodite, made by Elbruz to be taken to Mars, symbolises the "thinking woman" and the "being everywhere of love" at the same time, what kind of sculpture or statue will the Aphrodite of Datça be?

Revisibility: Datça Aphrodite Project

Opening of the sculpture exhibition on the Cult of Aphrodite

Planned for April ‘25

Anteros is the child of Aphrodite. But how does he distribute love? Perhaps we will understand a little when we see the sculptures in the exhibition.

The exhibition consists of sculptures by the sculptor Elbruz Denge, based on symbols related to people, objects and events associated with Aphrodite.

Revisibility: Datça Aphrodite Project

Completion of the film
scenario titled
"Words of Stone"

The script is at once a documentary about Datça and Knidos, a women's film, and a film that reflects the constraints and mindset of a sculptor while creating a work of art. Bengü, a sculptor from Datça, receives an order from the municipality. It is to be the Aphrodite of Knidos. But the sculptor decides not to copy the closest copy in the Roman Museum. He searches for a model. Finally, He is inspired by a young woman. But the young woman is about to marry. When he offers her to model, even naked, unexpected events begin to unfold.
