The rise and fall of great empires - Hittite, Byzantine, Ottoman - has brought a mosaic of influences to bear on Turkish design. 'Living in Turkey' draws aside a veil of privacy to lead us into Turkey’s carefully hidden interiors. We see houses that have evolved to suit local conditions and needs, from the earthen dwellings of Cappadocia to the stone masonry of Anatolia. In Istanbul, modern life is tinged with the colours of ancient cultures and past times. Old wooden buildings dream in huge gardens along the Bosphorus; angular modern apartments are softened by kilims and accessories; in every house are Turkish coffee-pots, handmade embroideries and coloured glass. Throughout, colour photography invites us to share in the enjoyment of these decorative marvels, bringing us closer to the design and architecture of this entrancing culture.

Living in Turkey

Orhan Pamuk

Estambul es un vívido documento fotográfico de la vida cotidiana en la Capital Cultural de Turquía, entre 1940 y 1980. A través de la certera lente del fotógrafo Ara Güler, el «Ojo de Estambul», estas páginas reflejan la estética melancolía de la ciudad, a caballo entre tradición y modernidad. Las impactantes fotografías en blanco y negro de Estambul están prologadas por una evocadora introducción de Orhan Pamuk, el primer escritor turco galardonado con el Premio Nobel de Literatura. En su juventud, tanto escritor como fotógrafo ambicionaban dedicarse a la pintura. Ambos maestros pintan sendos y personales cuadros de su ciudad natal capturando, mediante la imagen y la palabra, el alma de Estambul.
