Description

Guy Martin’s “The Parallel State” is a multi-layered, cinematic exploration of contemporary Turkey. Following a failed coup and subsequent protests, Martin draws parallels between the heightened drama of Turkish soap operas and the theatricality of its political reality. The book features 135 full-colour illustrations that move between fictional TV sets and genuine street unrest, questioning our trust in visual evidence and the blurring lines between propaganda, myth, and fact.
