Screen Between Us

A crowd stands before the Mona Lisa, yet most view it through their phones. The painting is iconic, but the real subject is us. I captured this moment to question how social media has reshaped perception—where presence is replaced by proof, and experience becomes documentation.

About Artist

Alp Turgut

Alp works in cinematic black and white street and documentary photography, focusing on human presence and quiet narratives within everyday life. Each day, he seeks moments that often go unnoticed; scenes where time seems to pause and reality becomes cinematic. His work invites the viewer to slow down, spend time with the image, and get lost within the frame.
