(Summer Sale) CONTROL by Çağdaş Erdoğan

A publication by Turkish photographer Çağdaş Erdoğan.

A collection of works by Turkish photographer Çağdaş Erdoğan.

CONTROL shines a spotlight on the dark side of 2000s Turkey. This Istanbul night story features sex workers, dog fighting, gun violence and political armed conflict.

At first glance, these activities appear to be individual events, but digging deeper reveals that they are actually all part of the same larger chain. Since 2000, Turkey has entered a new political environment.

The increasingly conservative atmosphere has slandered those who disagreed with some ideologies and driven them into the night. The world includes secret sex parties and dogfighting competitions. Armed conflicts arising from social problems and domestic pressures also all start at night.
