King Of All The Land: Mitski by Ebru Yıldız, is a remarkable collaboration between the enigmatic musician Mitski and New York-based photographer Ebru Yıldız. Composed of mostly unpublished photographs made for the release of Mitski’s 2023 widely acclaimed album The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, the book showcases an intimate visual narrative that mirrors the emotional range and cinematic depth of Mitski’s music. The imagery draws inspiration from butoh dancers and wildlife, blending movement and instinct, intimacy and observation. Within that tension, Mitski becomes both subject and collaborator, forming an evolving portrait that drifts between the imaginary and the documentary. Through her physical expression emotion becomes something visible. Yıldız crafts a visual language that mirrors Mitski’s ability to embody an extraordinary range of feeling — from fragility to ferocity.

“Ultimately, King of All the Land embodies authenticity, standing as a testament to collaboration and the pursuit of artistic truth,” said publisher Russell Joslin of Skeleton Key Press. “Each black-and-white image radiates freedom and rebellion, revealing the emotional depth of Mitski while prioritizing storytelling over superficial ideals. This collection invites viewers to reflect on the significance of artistic collaboration and genuine expression, challenging traditional representations of women in photography. Through Yıldız’s lens, viewers connect with Mitski’s striking openness and the transformative power of art, encouraging them to seek authenticity and connection in a world that often confines.”
