An experienced cinematographer, Emre Erkmen’s (b. Istanbul, 1975; lives and works in Berlin and Istanbul) photographs reflect his distinctive sensitivity towards his subjects. In his first book of photographs, he juxtaposes images of rural and urban spaces with the life in these places. The photographs were taken on film shoots and are arranged in sequences reminiscent of celluloid filmstrips. They contrast urban and rural environments—from America to Asia, via Turkey, Erkmen’s homeland, to Western Europe. … a Secret about a Secret speaks of our world and the daily lives of people around the globe. With a foreword by Christian Berkel as well as a conversation between the artist and Matthias Kliefoth.
