Istanbul-based photographer Erhan Coral unveils a black-and-white journey through Mongolia’s vast, otherworldly terrains. Made during an extended expedition across remote steppe, desert and highland regions, the series wrestles with the paradox of emptiness—where nothingness itself becomes subject. Within these wide frames, a lone structure, a derelict car or a children’s volleyball game appears against overwhelming quiet and a gently absurd poetics.

Shunning spectacle and grand narrative, Coral looks to the intervals—the stillness between events. His images speak as much to place as to the existential states of isolation and longing, tracing the light footprints of human presence in seemingly forgotten geographies. Extending his documentary sensibility, he pairs precise composition with an abiding curiosity for landscape and human fragility. The result is a spare meditation on contemporary solitude—somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
