A Photographic Essay About Istanbul
The people of Istanbul are “infected” by a “state of mind that is as life-affirming as it is
-negating”, the Istanbul-born writer Orhan Pamuk once wrote. This is known as „huzun”, a deep
melancholy that can be experienced in all corners of the city. That “Istanbul feeling” is the subject of
this series. On a photographic stroll along the Bosporus, the viewers discover a metropolis full of
contradictions. Standing between the mills of political Islam and Western capitalism, between Asia and
Europe, Istanbul has to define itself again and again.
