Between January and June 2023, Borga Kantürk collected and archived protest photographs published in daily newspapers across Turkey. Intervening directly with graphite and pencil, he erased faces, dissolved identities, leaving only slogans and banners behind. Built around the aesthetics of censorship, the blind spots of media, and the fragile nature of collective resistance, Action Records: An Anthology of Protest moves between archive and intervention, documentation and disappearance. Rather than following the fixed sequence of a conventional book, its loose-card structure invites readers to reorganize, reshuffle, and reconstruct the archive with every encounter. Each of the 128 double-sided Risograph-printed cards is individually signed and numbered by the artist, transforming the publication into both an artist's book and a collectible multiple. Published by COMMENTARIVM in a limited edition of 100 copies.
