CMHRB Within the Frame

The CMHRB Within the Frame Exhibition, to be held at the Bahçeşehir University Galata BAUEXP Gallery, can be visited at BAUEXP Gallery from 1 to 30 September 2014.

With the CMHRB Within the Frame Exhibition, through the frames of some twenty news photographers, we witness the personal and political history of the Presidents of the Republic of Türkiye. What we witness is also the history of Türkiye and of news photographers. Created as the result of a vast collective archival effort and labor, the exhibition of 160 photographs, previously unseen or rarely seen, is held in partnership between Depo Photos and the Bahçeşehir University Department of Photography and Video.

Setting out with the goal of becoming the most important source for accessing Türkiye's visual history, Depo Photos, after nearly two years of work, has created a huge photo archive of over one million frames by examining more than 25 million photographs, from politics to entertainment and from sports to art, by more than 150 photojournalists, documentary photographers and collectors in the first phase. As a result of meticulous work, hundreds of thousands of previously unseen and never-published film frames were scanned and archived digitally, and nearly 500 thousand of them were transferred to the online system. At Depo, photographs taken through the viewfinders of talented names not only of the past but also of today can be followed.

Depo Photos photojournalists and contributing colleagues whose photographs are featured in the exhibition: Zekeriya Albayrak, Adem Altan, Ayhan Arfat, Hasan Aydın, Sökmen Baykara, Kubilay Çalıkoğlu, Mehmet Demirci, Hüseyin Ezer, Rıza Ezer, Denizhan Güzel, Bülent Hiçyılmaz, Mustafa İstemi, Burak Kara, Murat Çetin Mühürdar, Mustafa Öztartan, Sami Pekşirin, Serhan Şarman, Mehmet Sürenkök, İsmail Şenyüz, Hikmet Tanılkan, Ümit Turpçu and the Cengiz Kahraman Collection.
