Norman Behrendt (*1981), Berlin, has photographed since 2014 newly-built mosques in the sprawling suburbs of Ankara and Istanbul. Behrendt's documentary images make clear how the country is developing from Atatürk's secular state into a religious state of Erdoğan's stamp. The sacred architecture stands symbolically for the religious-political change of the last 20 years, in which almost a thousand of these mosques were built per year. This small, inventively produced postcard book shows a selection.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
