Pictures of Monstrous Contrasts between Worlds by Turkish photographer Uğur Gallen

[dBSPL]

Hello, I'm Uğur and I live in Istanbul, Turkey. I'm trying to show the important issues the world is facing, such as social injustice and war, by putting two pictures side-by-side within a single frame. By doing this, I want to demonstrate the contrasts between the two different worlds we live in.

I started my first parallel universe work on a news story. I started to see fear and despair in the eyes of refugee children trying to go to Europe. I think we don't know anything about war, famine, etc. Today, you may be peaceful, but as long as these problems continue, you will be exposed to these problems. As an artist, I believe that art is the master of all languages. For long, art has been used to create awareness that helps in awakening the communities.

I wanted to show the difference between developed and underdeveloped countries. The message I want to convey through my work is versatile. Developed countries live in luxury, peace and waste, but I would like to remind them that people in the underdeveloped countries live in pain, hunger and war. I also wanted to remind the underdeveloped countries that they could find a better government and education and they can be as strong and peaceful as the developed countries. I want to show the problems of the modern world, greed, injustice.

I use the visuals of photojournalists who work under extreme conditions from all over the world. I previously shared my work on Bored Panda and I am continuing my work with intense support from around the world. I want to present my new pieces.

this is a picture with a poor taste, why was a hijab wearing female wearing traditional clothes contrasted with western school going white female how does the photographer know that the hijab wearing female doesnt attend school? or is it promoting feminism by showing her dad in the back?

I guess he tried to gave a message about the child marriage. He probably thought that the person behind the kid was her husband. I have no idea about his beliefs and thoughts, I just wanted to share some of his work because it is quite striking.
