The second edition of the Tosetti Value Photography Award goes to Fatma Bucak an artist whose photographic performance and video work investigates current sociopolitical issues addressing in particular conflicts in Turkey and border issues. Her powerful and emblematic photographs capture today’s tensions by reconsidering issues of history making, memory, witnessing and identity.
In the award-winning project, And so we were told, Fatma Bucak brings together some of the elements that underlie her research and poetics, such as forgetting, state violence, censorship and borders.
