Zeynep Kayan at International Awards and Talks (01/06/2017)


We are happy to announce that Zeynep Kayan won the second prize at the Kassel Dummy Award 2017. Upon the invitation of "Fotobook Festival Kassel," 49 photographers have presented their as-yet-unpublished photo books. At the event, whose jury included Federica Chiocchetti (Photocaptionist.com, London), Martin Parr (Magnumphotos, Bristol), and Markus Schaden (The Photobookmuseum, Cologne), Zeynep Kayan's book was one of the three finalists that were awarded.

 

Kayan also participated in the six-part program held in parallel with the "Out of the Archive" presentation organized by GAPO (Geniş Açı Proje Ofisi). At the event, which took place on May 27 at SALT Ulus, Kayan talked about the theoretical and practical aspects of working with found imagery and presented examples from her work. This talk was part of the photography workshop "Photography Without Shooting," a collaboration project by GAPO and SALT, which has been going on for three years.
