Elsewhere is a series about dislocation—bodies present in spaces they do not belong to, or no longer remember. Set in terraces, alleyways, backyards, and in-between zones of the modern city, these photographs imagine the nude not in nature, nor in interior, but in a third space: public yet abandoned, familiar yet estranged.

Burak Bulut Yildirim has photographed nude bodies in cities across Europe for nearly two decades, capturing moments where the skin meets concrete, laundry lines, subway walls, and the soft edges of forgotten architecture. These are not protests nor performances—they are quiet appearances. The body is not asserting itself, but simply existing where it is not expected to. Like ghosts from a theatre long closed, these figures inhabit a kind of urban unreality. There is an echo of Francesca Woodman's “House" series, or the playful tension in Sophie Calle's spatial games. Each figure is both present and misplaced, transforming a balcony into a stage, or a fire escape into a shrine.

Elsewhere also speaks to psychological geography. What does it mean to inhabit a space as if one is not meant to be there? These images exist in the gap between private gesture and public exposure. The city becomes a silent collaborator—an indifferent witness. Through these limited edition prints, collectors are invited into a narrative of displacement, poetic intervention, and the delicate friction between body and built environment. Elsewhere is not just a place—it is a condition.

Limited Edition of 5 prints.

Printed on museum-quality, archival Hahnemühle Fine Art paper, each artwork is meticulously proofed, inspected, and carefully packaged rolled in a protective tube. Every print includes a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist, certifying its limited edition status.

Presentation

Burak Bulut Yıldırım
Berlin, Germany • Photographer

From the heart of Berlin, I shape light and shadow into images that breathe.

For 19 years, I have explored the fleeting, the intangible—a pursuit that began in art journalism and evolved into a lifelong devotion to photography. In 2005, I founded my first studio. Since then, my work has traveled across Europe, gracing galleries and shaping visual identities for global and local brands.

Dostoevsky wrote in , “Everything depends on the environment in which man lives." In a world oversaturated with images, we often feel lost in visual noise. Yet, light transforms. It gives meaning. A figure, a landscape—within seconds, they shift, becoming something entirely new.

For over 19 years, I have explored this transformation. I sculpt people with light, capturing their ever-changing forms through natural light, artificial systems, and UV. I work with both visible and invisible spectrums, using machines that record light to uncover something deeper—something beyond texture, color, and form.

My portraits are not just images; they are extensions of my own soul. In every session, my subject's presence collides with my vision, creating an unpredictable, living exchange. The result is emotion distilled into aesthetics, a visual language shaped by the poetry of light.

Photography is more than creation—it is a dialogue. Since 2019, Sony Europe has named me an Imaging Ambassador, reaffirming my dedication to this art. Beyond my own work, I share this passion through my photography school, where over 5,000 students have embarked on their own creative journeys.

Light remains my guide. Each click of the shutter is an attempt to capture the unseen, to reveal beauty in the mundane, to freeze a fleeting moment before it disappears.
