TRANSANATOLIA is a journey to the border regions of Anatolia. Mathias Depardon spent five years photographing the New Turkey, reaching as a far as the rim of the Caucasus. He explored the notions of periphery and border, from the recently settled west suburbs of Istanbul to Turkish Kurdistan, where a veritable water war is raging and a civil revolution is imminent. These remote regions help us to understand the changes sweeping through part of the world. Mathias Depardon’s portraits and landscapes take the pulse of a country torn between modernization and Ottoman nostalgia.
