Yol, 2008
7 film reels (complete copy of Yol in screening order), vitrine (copper, glass, fabric)
This is the film for which Yilmaz Güney won the 1982 Cannes Palme d'Or. Güney was a popular actor in action films before his directorial work which included sharp social commentary got him arrested several times and eventually imprisoned. The case's copper is also in reference to excavation sites near Urfa where very early use of tools, arms and jewelry made from the material was found.
