Yusuf Sevin�li

Country: Turkey | Born: 1980

Sevin�li�s images are highly personal, subjective and dreamlike, in which place and time are uncertain, redolent instead of a deeply felt vision of the world. His fleeting images of everyday life have an air of timelessness about them. Aesthetically and formally they manifest Sevin�li�s respect and deep engagement with the history of photography.

Yusuf Sevin�li earned a bachelor�s degree in communications at Marmara University (Istanbul) in 2003, and attended a Masterclass dedicated to documentary photography in Sweden in 2005. From that moment on, he started building his own work through different series which include Good Dog (2012), Marseille (2014), Walking (2015) and exhibited in several solo and group shows in Le Botanique (Brussels, Belgium), Galerie Les Filles du Calvaire (Paris, France), Arter (Istanbul, Turkey), Angkor Festival (Angkor, Cambodia), Istanbul Modern (Istanbul, Turkey), Gallery Boavista (Lisbon, Portugal), Atelier de Visu (Marseille, France), Elipsis Gallery (Istanbul, Turkey), Rencontres d�Arles (Arles, France). One of his latest series �D�rive� has been presented in several places in France, such as La Filature in Mulhouse, Le Ch�teau d�Eau in Toulouse, L�Atelier, Nantes as well as in Moscow during the city�s Biennal of Photography in 2016. He lives and works in Istanbul.

Published books; Good Dog (Filigranes Editions, 2012), Marseille (le bec en l�air, 2014), Walking (Filigranes Editions, 2015), PUT (Fail Books, 2017).

Good Dog

Author: Yusuf Sevin�li

Publisher: Filigranes Editions

Year: 2012 - Pages: 64

Inspired in part by Daido Moriyama's grim 1971 photograph �Stray Dog�, Yusuf Sevincli�s high contrast black-and-white photographs explore his neighborhood in Istanbul. The images, abused with scratches and stains, suggest a thriving human element despite the area�s harsh conditions. Good Dog is brutally poetic, a reminder that �what was felt is what was lived�, its melancholic images resonating on both a visual and emotional level.

Following my discharge, I enrolled in the Photographic Engineering Technology (…)

Didier Massard

Nationality: France

Born: 1953

Twenty years ago I was involved in traditional landscape photography. There were many places in the world that I wished to visit and photograph, but I realized that they would not match my perception of them. Reality was different from imagination. This disillusionment inspired me to create my own indoor landscapes-to fabricate dioramas and to photograph in a studio what I had in mind.

Over the years I have developed my secret and still theater, always in the same (…)
