A Cloud of Black Smoke,
Photographs from Turkey, 1968-1972
I received these photographs for the 30 year anniversary of the ‘68 movement in Turkey. The photographs had been hidden and stored by members of the movement. […] Some of them concern the Kizildere Massacre. A text, written by the person […] who is the sole survivor of this massacre, accompanies the images. It is a very important text for younger generations because this event has been concealed from them, manipulated and suppressed. […] The photographs speak a language that each and everyone can understand without any historical knowledge. Was the Kizildere Massacre a beginning or an end?
