Several months ago I published a mini series of images that was inspired by the summer riots of Istanbul- resISTANBUL. Just over a year after I wanted to share the actual images from the numerous days that thousands of people protested not only to save a small green space in the centre of urban Istanbul, but also to protect the voices of millions against a government that is getting more corrupt each day.
The images were taken with a digital camera and then converted to film to allow a complete tactile control of the printing process. As the actual voice of a protestor is stronger than a digital signature or “like” on a social media platform, processing with analog techniques felt absolutely right for this body of work.
