Winner Open Call Helsinki Photo Festival 2022. The Winner Open Call Helsinki Photo Festival 2022. Theme: Believe.Cemre Yeşil Gönenli, Turkey. "Hayal & Hakikat: A Handbook of Forgiveness & a Handbook of Punishment". These photographs depict the hands of prisoners from the early 20th century, found in the photo albums of Abdul Hamid II, the 34th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Abdul Hamid II utilized photography as a tool for documenting the modernization of the Ottoman Empire at the start of the 20th century. A photography studio was built inside the Yıldız Palace and albums were reproduced and sent across the world as a testament to the progress of the Empire. Abdul Hamid II was obsessed with crime fiction and in the 25th year of his reign he ordered all murder convicts to be photographed with their hands visible in preparation for a planned amnesty. The photographs in the Hayal (Dream) section of the project show the subjects’ hands for the purpose of classification and possible amnesty. In the Hakikat (Fact) section, Cemre Yeşil Gönenli has cropped out the faces of the subjects so their emotional state is ambiguous. The Dream of the title refers to the inmates’ desire for release and the Fact’ their actual circumstances. The fate of the individual prisoners remains unknown. Hayal and Hakikat is dedicated to those in contemporary times who are arbitrarily detained in today's Turkey. Cemre Yeşil is a Turkish photographer and artist living in Istanbul. In 2017, she dropped out of her practice-based PhD in London College of Communication and independently continued her PhD research project, Double Portrait. Her work has been published internationally, including in The Guardian, International Centre of Photography New York, British Journal of Photography. She currently lectures on photography at Falmouth University MA Photography and at Bilgi University BA VCD. She also works as a writer, curator, publisher and is the founder of FiLBooks, a publishing house and a space dedicated to photography.#kansallismuseo #photography #exhibition #helsinkiphotofestival #helphoto22 #thisisfinland #helsinki #finland #taide #kunst #believe #fineartphotography #art #valokuva #valokuvanäyttely #visithelsinki #nationalmuseum
