Exploring the impact of urbanisation, gentrification, and local culture through images, the photographer Murat Germen makes the anthropology of cities his subject in his sprawling body of work. The Düsseldorf-based art critic Necmi Sönmez says that Germen ‘maps global cities as a cartographer.’ This retrospective of his work, at Sakıp Sabancı Museum’s evocative Mardin outpost, delves into his unique body of work.
