Transanatolia is a journey to the border regions of Turkey. Mathias Depardon spent five years photographing the New Turkey, reaching as far as Azerbaijan and the foothills of Xinjiang, where Turkey represents the ever-present “mother-land”. The fragmentation of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the First World War continues to be felt as a trauma, whereas the expansion of the country’s borders is meant to avenge the wounds inflicted by history.
