Where the Turban Moves, There Moves the Territory, an offshoot of Martins’ recent project Anton’s hand is made of guilt, no muscle or bone. He has two clinically depressed fingers and an angry thumb., has been recognised in the Hariban Photography Prize 2025. Developed in north Africa over 6 years, this part-documentary, part-speculative project responds to Anton Hammerl’s disappearance/death through an examination of the geography, players and circumstances surrounding his demise as well as a reflection on the decisive but paradoxical role that photography has played in conflict zones.
