The name of the exhibition – “Time Within Us” has been chosen by Engin Ozendes for its presentation in Istanbul.

The goal of the exhibition is to present to the audience some already established young photographers from the three countries and present some of the art trends in Greece, Turkey and Russia. “I have chosen not to qualify the photographers according to their country, in order not to blend those boundaries”, says Engin Ozendes, curator of the exhibition in Istanbul, who has combined the pictures in seven common topics.
