In Istanbul: City of a Hundred Names, Magnum photographer Alex Webb displays his particular ability to distill gesture, color and contrasting cultural tensions into a single, beguiling frame. He presents a vision of Istanbul as an urban cultural center, rich with the incandescence of its past--a city of minarets and pigeons rising to the heavens during the early-morning call to Muslim prayers--yet also a city riddled with ATM machines and clothed in designer jeans. Webb began photographing Istanbul in 1998, and became instantly enthralled: by the people, the layers of culture and history, the richness of street life. But what particularly drew him in was a sense of Istanbul as a border city, lying between Europe and Asia. "For 30-some years as a photographer, I have been intrigued by borders, places where cultures come together, sometimes easily, sometimes roughly." The resulting body of work, some of Webb's strongest to date, conveys the frisson of a culture in transition, yet firmly rooted in a complex history. With essay by the Nobel Prize winning novelist, Orhan Pamuk.

對於伊斯坦布爾的詮釋,似乎沒有比帕慕剋描繪給我們的更有說服力的瞭。那是一座矗立於歐亞大陸之上,被西方世界整整凝望瞭數百年的經曆瞭輝煌到沒落,每一寸土地上都浸滿瞭憂傷,帕慕剋將其稱之為“呼愁”的神秘城市。 但似乎Alex Webb並不打算展示這座城市憂傷的一麵。如他自...

評分有幾張好照片… 但整體比較normal 我不太能接受群像雜亂的構圖
評分Alex Webb 伊斯坦布爾
評分佐以帕慕剋的《黑書》與《伊斯坦布爾》看
評分三年前在伊斯坦布爾的書店看完,真是愛不釋手。後來因為太重沒能扛迴來,反而買迴瞭一本英文版的《純真博物館》。
