Frederic Lezmi - Taksim Calling, Self published, 2013, Istanbul/Köln

 

Newspaper style, loose folded double pages, offset print. Edition of 1000, of which 800 where distributed during the protests, the other 200 sold to cover production costs, signed. Concept and edit by Frederic Lezmi, Markus Schaden and Wolfgang Zurborn. Postcards and historical images  courtesy of the Gezgin collection & SALT archive.
„Taksim Square in Istanbul, is in the focus of this in the wake of the civil protests spontaneously published work. Matching the actuality of events, 'Taksim Calling' was published similiar to daily newspapers - in large format of loose oversized pages. The loosely folded leaves can also be used as a poster and show either the Taksim Square in more peaceful times, tthe other, journalistic (back) side shows actual pictures of the place, often portraits of (young) people in the throes of protest. These photos were taken in the instant mode and in gridded format in equally Polaroid original size. This publication is congenial in content and form and yet very restrained - in the foreground is the people of Istanbul's Taksim Square.“
