Istanbul Between Continents, Memory and Movement
ISTANBUL, TURKEY — Daily life unfolds across the streets, ferries, neighborhoods and public spaces of Istanbul, a city shaped by constant movement and overlapping identities. Straddling Europe and Asia, Istanbul reflects the coexistence of tradition and modernity, intimacy and urban chaos, through the routines and gestures of its inhabitants. The project documents ordinary moments and subtle transitions that define the rhythm of the city beyond its iconic landmarks.
