Photographer Ahmet Ertug takes us on a fantastic, visual voyage of historic, architectural sites throughout France and Italy. He transports us to the interiors of the most beautiful chateaus, castles, libraries, theaters, and spiritual buildings in both countries. The photographs are meticulously crafted, and the colors, texture, and light capture the brilliance of each site.
The backdrop of the splendid architecture of La Conciergerie gives the exhibition an added dimension and context.
Ertug was born in Turkey and graduated from the prestigious Architectural Association School of London. He went on to become an architect and in 1980 he won a grant from the Japanese Foundation to research and photograph the architecture of Japan for a year. After the success of the grant, he devotes himself to photography as a full-time occupation, continuing to specifically photograph architectural locations around the world. He also has a publishing company which produces books on ancient architecture.
