In Conversation: Samet Durgun and Alexa Becker
Samet Durgun in conversation with Alexa Becker of Kehrer Verlag at the Impressions Gallery Photobook Fair 2021.
Originally published on Impressions Gallery Photobook Fair 2021, by Alexa Becker & Samet Durgun
Artist Samet Durgun in conversation with Alexa Becker from publisher Kehrer Verlag about Come Get your Honey, which uses the question, “What if photography is more about ‘listening’ than seeing?” to tell a story about the LGBTQIA+ refugee and asylum seekers in Berlin.
Samet Durgun strives to depict each individual as complex human beings in their wholeness, trying to establish a new home in a foreign country and in an extremely polarized political climate.
Evidence notes added in 2026
- The event. Impressions Gallery’s event record directly confirms the 9 October 2021 conversation with Alexa Becker, its place in the Photobook Fair, and the wording used to describe the book.
- The book. Kehrer Verlag’s press record confirms the publisher, format, contributors, 75 colour illustrations, voice recording and video. The statement about depicting people in their wholeness is Durgun’s artistic intention, not an independently measurable result.
