Orhan Pamuk, Balkon

In the winter of 2011 Nobel-Prize-winning Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk took 8,500 color photographs from his balcony with its panoramic view of Istanbul, the entrance of the Bosphorus, the old town, the Asian and European sides of the city, the surrounding hills, and the distant islands and mountains. Balkon presents almost 500 of these photos selected by Pamuk, who has also co-designed the book and written its introduction.
