Talking Turkey
Compare the messaging. The first image, on the left, is a campaign flyer for Italy’s anti-immigrant Lega Nord party, photographed in March, outside our apartment in Milan. Notice the Turkish national flag depicted subsuming the northern Italian province of Lombardy.
The image on the right is a government-commissioned poster offering support to Turkish immigrants, displayed at a train station in Berlin. Given how accustomed we’d become to seeing Lega posters the past year, the German advert’s vibe took us totally by surprise.
crazy interesting. just looking at the images i thought you had a multiple personality bus kiosk for a second. then i realized they were in two diff countries, duh.
