Istanbul through the lens of Achilles Samandji and Eugene Dalleggio
Istanbul’s mosaic at the turn of the 20th century. The Sismanoglio Megaro of the Consulate General of Greece in Istanbul hosts, from 15th of May to 20th of June, a large collection of photographs that capture countless aspects of the most fascinating city in the world at the beginning of the 20th century. To present these photographs is a simple, yet at the same time complicated matter. Simple, because the collection pleasantly seduces anyone who peruses it while following the enchanting pathways of a world that has great importance for Greeks. Complicated, however, the moment you try to decipher the collection, the moment you invoke reason to arrive at an interpretation. For the photograph, through the picture it presents, also reveals the person who took it.
