Handbuch für das Gefängnis Silivri #[nn]

A small, wide-eyed cartoon figure kneels on a white background, surrounded by scattered papers and a pencil, gazing up in bewilderment at a looming isometric illustration of the massive Silivri prison complex rendered in stark blue and black — the contrast between the tiny, vulnerable character and that imposing architectural fortress sets a quietly powerful tone. Created by Yiğit Aksakoğlu and Cans, this 2025 Interdictum publication frames itself as a "handbook" for one of Turkey's most formidable detention facilities, blending a deceptively simple visual language with weighty subject matter. It's a thought-provoking work that uses the graphic novel form to approach an institutional reality that few would otherwise have a window into.
