212 / 20

212 Magazine Edition #20

In this issue, illusion and memory converge — where the unreal takes form and the unseen exerts power.

Rooted in the Greek φάντασμα (phantasma, “apparition” or “vision”), this issue explores the ghosts, myths, and fabrications that shape our collective imagination.

212 is a biannual magazine based out of Istanbul, published and distributed internationally. It contains short fiction and long-form reportage; distinctive photo essays and revealing interviews. Even though it was born in the city where east meets west (as the love-worn cliche goes), the magazine seeks to transcend the loaded dichotomies of Istanbul’s favourite metaphor, and extends its gaze far beyond the region.
