Planet Football 

February 16, 2016 
Across the world, it's fair to say that after eating and breathing, football occupies a high place in the global unification table. More than just 22 men kicking a ball around a field, football stirs passions beyond enlightened rational thought. Governments rise or fall according to results, and even a war was started immediately after one match between El Salvador and Honduras. But football's greatest asset is its ability to offer the fan a true window to the world crossing racial, political, religious and social divides that blight so much of our lives.

The exhibition features 32 photographs by 23 Magnum photographers and is organized by the Turkish French Institute. The show will be presented
- in ANKARA from March 1st to 30th, 2016
- in ADANA from April 15th to May 15th, 2016
- in ISTANBUL from June 10th to September 21st, 2016
