ABOUT YENER
Yener Torun was born in Turhal, Turkey, in 1982 and currently resides in Istanbul. He studied architecture at Istanbul Technical University. In 2014, he started a photography project on his Instagram account @cimkedi, focusing on lesser-known buildings and side streets of his adopted hometown. In recent years, his international following has grown, and major media outlets such as The Guardian, The Washington Post, CBS News, and El Pais Semanal have covered his work.
​
Yener's compositions typically flatten space and emphasize lines and colors over depth. He transforms the urban landscape by reinterpreting architecture as geometric abstraction, creating an alternate reality by removing architectural elements from their original environment and repurposing them.
