A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Yagli Güres, the turkish oiled wrestling, is an amazing discipline, not only a tradition in Turkey, but a vivid, popular celebration all over the country. The author of the incredible photographs of this book, Azzedine Jamal, a western-raised Middle-Eastern, participated himself in competition, so he could captured every instant of this highly masculine gatherings, from the moment these unique athletes oil their sculptural bodies to the ultimate assaults on the meadow, under the joyful cries of the crowd. The Yagli Güres Code is a rare testimony, through spectacular, colorful pictures, of this nobility of virility, ruled by a code of honor and friendship long disappeared in western countries.

His pictures can capture the raw truth of either turkish wrestlers, syrian rebel fighters or young children in refugee camps. Nothing is ever staged, every photograph seems taken from the inside, as close as possible of the subject's humanity.
