Sometimes he would leave his writing desk and follow the movements of the boats as they passed in front of his apartment and sailed away. Pamuk has been taking photographs for more than 50 years, but as he obsessively created these images he felt his desire to do so was related to a strange particular mood he was experiencing. He photographed further and began to think about what was happening to himself: why was he taking these photos? How are seeing and photography related? What is the affinity between writing and seeing? Balkon presents almost 500 of these photos selected by Pamuk, who has also codesigned the book and written its introduction. Born in Istanbul in 1952, Orhan Pamuk intended until the age of 22 to be a painter. In the 1960s and '70s, as he describes in his book of autobiographical essays Istanbul (2003), he photographed the streets of Istanbul to use in his paintings; his early desire to take photos is explored in the introduction to the illustrated version of Istanbul (2017). Pamuk won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2006; among his best-known novels are My Name Is Red (1998), Snow (2004) and The Red-Haired Woman (2016). His 2008 novel, The Museum of Innocence, became an actual museum, which he opened in Istanbul in 2012 to exhibit the objects, pictures, papers and photographs described in the story. The Museum of Innocence received the European Museum of the Year Award in 2014. 546 $a In English; translated from the Turkish. 600 10 $a Pamuk, Orhan, $d 1952- $x Homes and haunts $z Istanbul $z Istanbul $v Pictorial works. 600 17 $a Pamuk, Orhan, $d 1952- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00128255 650 0 $a Photography, Panoramic $z Istanbul. $z Istanbul. 650 0 $a Telephotography $v Pictorial works. 651 0 $a Istanbul (Turkey) $v Pictorial works. 651 0 $a Istanbul (Turkey) $y 21st century $v Pictorial works. 651 7 $a Turkey $z Istanbul. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204833 655 7 $a illustrated books. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300311820 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423873 655 7 $a Pictorial works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423874 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Ouvrages illustreÌs. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000523 700 1 $a Oklap, Ekin, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022136.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F52927143D8C11EE8AE814B62EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
