Can Yasar Köklü (born 2003 in Schwelm, lives and works in Brooklyn) is a young photographer, graphic designer, and filmmaker who grew up in Cologne and Istanbul and is now studying at the prestigious Pratt Institute in New York. In his first publication, CYK, an artist book featuring stunningly beautiful photographs and personal texts, he explores his upbringing, influences, and emotions across three different cultures: "Heimat" describes his birthplace Germany, where he spent most of his life, "Memleket" is dedicated to Turkey, his roots, and "Home" showcases the impressions Köklü gathered during a school year in Los Angeles and now during his studies in New York. With his passion for storytelling, he captures unique, fascinating, and deeply touching moments.
