"GRUP FOTOGRAFI"

Istanbul 2003

Event as part of a 4-month residency at Platform Garanti in Istanbul.




Private security guards monitor Istanbul from small plastic booths everywhere. For this event a group of them assembled at a central place in the city to meet each other and to be photographed. Fashion photographer Emre Dogru portrayed them indiviually and as a group. The event was also documented on video; the material formed the basis of the first booklet in the series ‘A Little Guide to Guards’.

Special thanks to Florian Zeyfang, November Paynter, Sandy Kraus and Ilhan Sayin.
