Manca Juvan, Oto Luthar / Istanbul. Faces of Freedom

The book Istanbul, Faces of Freedom is a delicate and beautiful volume of photography and essays, exploring the idea of freedom in an urban setting. Cities of earlier origins, like Istanbul, must have represented spaces of freedom already in Antiquity, thus outcompeting almost by a millennium the contesting central European concept which came to life in the High Middle Ages. Dubbed The Great City of Istanbul, today a modern megapolis, has been a city ever since its first Greek name Lygos gave way to Byzantium.

The book includes photographs by Manca Juvan, essays by Oto Luthar and Hugh Pope, and an interview with Mladen Dolar, conducted by Oto Luthar and Görkem Özdemir.
