Synopsis

In the language of geopolitics "Fault lines" is a border between two contiguous geographic areas in conflict. Turkey, due to its geographical and symbolic position between Europe and Asia, represents an area in which tensions risk becoming more and more dangerous, in which modernity and tradition, secular values and Islam, democracy and repression with difficulty coexist. Photographer George Georgiou spent five years in Turkey and while traveling the country he questioned these changes by focusing his attention on everyday life.
