What does depression look like through a camera lens?

How can photography itself become a lifeline in mental turmoil?

Detour offers a window into the physical and psychological landscapes inhabited by Abele, a Tokyo architect suffering from bipolar.

Really good to receive this new book and zine by @newishpuritan.bsky.social. Both photographically document areas and journeys in and around Glasgow.

With events unfolding in Turkey it seems appropriate to revisit Deniz Goran’s brilliant novel, The Fugitive of Gezi Park.

The book is a cry for freedom of expression and self-determination, exploring the nature of trauma and relationship between political and personal struggle.
