Therefore, it is no surprise that Peter Stamm, who followed in his father's footsteps, has a reputation of being a writer of acute psychological perception. The Swiss author who not only enjoys commercial success but also critical acclaim worldwide sat down with Showcase's Sharaz Ali in Istanbul and the two talked about everything from his first book to his writing routine, and how he thinks books resemble soups.

In a floating village located near Inle Lake, Myanmar, lotus flowers are turned into luxurious garments. There is something whimsical about watching these artisans as they take plants. Extract a fine thread from the stem and then eventually weave it into a scarf or even a shirt. It's an art form which is even more intricate than working with silk.

Anytime a museum smashes attendance records, it's usually for an exhibition of a well-known name, like Andy Warhol or Picasso. Which is why this exhibition at New York's Guggenheim Museum has become the talk of the art world. With more than six hundred thousand visitors, 'Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future' became the museum's most visited exhibition in its history. And also sold the most ever catalogues. So who is Hilma af Klint, and what did she paint that was so significant? Showcase's Hatice Meryem Gelgor explains.
