'The Parallel State' shortlisted for the Paris Photo / Aperture First Photo Book Award 2019

Congratulations to Guy Martin - his book The Parallel State has been shortlisted for the 2019 Paris Photo / Aperture First PhotoBook Award. The book is a multi-layered project which began life as an examination of the Turkish soap opera and film industry, but evolved over the course of five years, into a semi-fictional study of truth, reality and lies in contemporary Turkey. The winner of the Award will be announced in November. Congratulations to all on the shortlists!
