"The State of Ata" addresses the social themes that define
contemporary Turkey. Specifically examining the imagery of Mustafa
Kemal Ataturk, the country's revolutionary leader after World War
I, the volume interweaves photographs, interviews, artists'
interventions and archival imagery. The result is a complex visual
exploration of the uses of Ataturk's imagery and the way in which
it functions in contemporary Turkish society as a perceived link to
Western culture, and as a symbol in opposition to the rise of the
Islamist political movement. Mike Mandel and Chantal Zakari
conceived "The State of Ata" as a collection of books within a
book-a photograph album, a volume of military portraits, a
diary-and the result is a unique project that will appeal not only
to those fascinated by Turkish culture, but also to anyone
interested in the popular representations of cult historical
figures.
