Come and wet cafebabel.com's 'first photo exhibition' head: 'Orient Express Reporter' launches at Labo 13, Paris, 12 May
Published on
The Balkans and Turkey are so close to us in mainland Europe and yet so far in a political sense.
For cafebabel.com, five photographers of French, Argentine, Italian, Taiwanese, Turkish and Serbian nationalities visited five Balkan and Turkish capitals to put their pulse on the lives of our European neighbours.
