Çağdaş Erdoğan

Turkish photographer Çağdaş Erdoğan has been arrested in Istanbul, according to his agency 140journos.

Shell shock silence and blinding whiteness,
air sucked from the lungs.
Masked clowns out of the dust cloud.
City limits, a circle of men. Two dogs.
The chain goes off.
Nervous laughters, hard breathing.
Tension as a background noise.
The night-blind goes on.

 

Cagdas Erdogan's first book, Control, was shot entirely in Istanbul, 2015 – 2017.
