Images from the project 'The Taksim Square Book Club' which looks at one aspect of the so called 'standing man' protest held in Taksim Square in Istanbul, Turkey. Public reading and informal education has been a notable part of the protest since the earlier days of the movement whilst the material of many of those who chose to stand is reflective, in part, of the thoughtfulness of those that have chosen this motionless protest to express their discontent.
