Summary

"Examines the contemporary imagery of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, Turkey's revolutionary leader after World War I ... The State of Ata weaves together the artists' photographs of Turkish society, the public imagery and sculptural presence of Atatürk, documentation of their own interventions and performances, interviews, and a collection of archival and popular imagery. The book is conceived as a collection of books within books: a photo book, a school book, a diary, a fantasy album of military portraits."--Publisher description.
