I Am Discovering Midnight Express Prison—47 Years Later

ADVERTISEMENT

I’m Dimitri Bourriau, a professional photographer from Paris, traveling the world in search of forgotten places frozen in time.

In this new photo series, I step inside the legendary prison that served as the backdrop for the cult film Midnight Express. 47 years later, nothing has changed—the walls still whisper stories of the past, blending history and cinema.

Despite being set in Turkey, Midnight Express was entirely filmed in Malta due to Turkey’s refusal to host the production. However, a few scenes shot in Istanbul beforehand were later included in the final cut.

Join me on this journey through time.

Jahz Design

French artist, Dimitri Bourriau "Jahz Design", is a graduated graphic designer. He has always been interested in history and architectural remains. It was in 2013 when he developed his interest in the photography of heritage in disuse. His first exploration was an ancient cemetery of military ships. Today he travels the globe looking for places in decline. It draws our attention to our civilization in constant mutation to ephemeral memory. His latest discoveries have taken him in the footsteps of the Soviet Buran spacecraft program in Baikonur (Kazakhstan). In 2017 he became Manfrotto ambassador. In 2018, Irix, the brand of ultra-wide angle lens of Swiss origin, proposed to Dimitri to become their ambassador.
