ORANGE (TURUNCU)

When the Nobel-Prize-winning novelist Orhan Pamuk is finished with a day’s writing, he takes his Canon 5 camera and wanders through the backstreets of his home town, spaces that seem neclected and forgotten, washed in a particular light. This is the orange light of the windows and streetlamps that Pamuk knows so well from his childhood in Istanbul 50 years ago, as he tells in his introduction. Yet Pamuk also observes how the homely, cozy orange light is slowly being replaced by a new, artificial-bright and crude-white from the more modernized light bulbs.
