In the heart of the city, amid the familiar noise of shopping and haste, a crack has appeared. The immortal tale that Antoine de Saint-Exupéry whispered onto paper is today slipping free from its ink at Akasya AVM, transforming into light and code. “The Little Prince Exhibition” is not merely an exhibition; it is a digital ritual where we leave the heavy burdens of adulthood at the door and set off in pursuit of the “invisible.”
Digital artist badqode (Gökhan Doğan) turns the modest pages of the story into vast physical universes. Here, the book is not just read; you step inside it. As you walk among the colossal installations, it’s easy to feel like a single letter among words or a splash of colour within drawings. This is the yellowed book of your childhood beginning to breathe in three dimensions.
Gökay Gedik merges technology with poetry, inviting us to the edge of an “Infinity Pool.” In this space where sound and light projections dance, the perception of time flips like an hourglass. Losing yourself in a digital ball pit, this sensory revolution allows not only children but also adults to reconnect with that forgotten pure joy. Here, light does not merely illuminate; it etches the story onto your skin.
Perhaps the exhibition’s most hypnotic stop is the endless garden conceived by AI artist Liora Esveyn. You have never seen the Little Prince’s delicate, unique rose—for which he built glass globes—quite like this. AI-driven animations transform into a digital symphony of love and loyalty within the boundless depth created by infinity mirrors. Here, technology sets aside its cold metallic face and serves the most intimate emotions of the heart, the tender love found in a flower’s petals.
“The eyes are blind; one must look with the heart.”
This cult philosophy echoes anew in every pixel and every beam of light throughout the exhibition. It is a poetic pause amid the endless rush of the modern world—a journey back to oneself that dusts off the soul.
If you are ready to search for your own little prince or princess in the vastness of the universe, you are invited to lose yourself in this digital tale. For this exhibition promises not to tell you things, but to make you feel them.
