Peri / Jeztırnaq is a photo book and a photo series photographed and designed by Anel Alpysbayeva. Peri and Jeztırnaq are based on the characters of Kazakh folklore. This photo series aims to shed light into the stories of these two beings under a modern spin. Interestingly, Kazakh folklore is passed down orally, thus, making information varied depending on who’s retelling those stories, so the structure of the book follows a non-hierarchical and non-linear storytelling style as well.
