INTRO:

Over more than two years, Kevin Wolf has returned to Istanbul numerous times. While documenting the social contrasts in the daily lives of its residents, he uncovers a deep melancholy that pervades the city. Istanbul-born writer Orhan Pamuk once called this sentiment "hüzün" and described it as a state of mind deeply ingrained in the people of Istanbul over the centuries.

Kevin Wolf’s book HÜZÜN attempts to visually capture this unique 'Istanbul feeling' as it winds from the Bosphorus across the Golden Horn to the hilly neighborhoods of Türkiye’s largest metropolis.
