About Ji

Ji is Olgaç Bozalp’s third publication. Given full creative control by Chinese designer Shangguan Zhe to explore any concept, Olgaç’s starting point was about reconciling two polar psychological states he had been feeling and exploring it on a grand scale for the book. How can calmness and chaos co-exist in one place or one body in harmony with one another? Is calmness born from chaos, or is chaos a response to it?


The book’s theme found a companion in India; a location so complex; paralleled with simplicity and complexity; rich with culture and spirituality; a populous nation with one of the most diverse lands found in the world; discord and order are interchangeable parts. Olgaç’s images scrutinise these questions from his photographic journey of the North and South regions of the country; displayed in a notebook format as part of his travel diary.
