İstanbul’un Hanları / Hans of Istanbul by Timurtaş Onan is a black-and-white photographic passage through the city’s commercial hans, from the Grand Bazaar and Mahmutpaşa to Eminönü and Karaköy. Built over a decade and composed of 308 photographs, the book enters Büyük Valide Han, Büyük Yeni Han, Abud Efendi Han, Çuhacı Han, Kalcılar Han, Büyük Yıldız Han, Yaldızlı Han, Ali Paşa Hanı, and Balkapanı Han as living organisms of labour, trade, craft, memory, and slow disappearance. A dark atlas of Istanbul’s hidden engines.
