Vassilis Konstantinou's project under the tittle' unintentional sculptures' was realized during the years 2015-1017 within the suburban landscape of Attica, which has gone through a great deal of changes due to the economic crisis. The photographer explores the landscape and decides to focus and highlight the man-made constructions that reveal...
Ricardo Nunes: The Western-Gate
Belgrade, The White City, is the capital of Serbia and of former Yugoslavia. The Belgradians seem nostalgic about the past, to a time before the Yugoslavian Civil War in 1999, about the empire of Yugoslavia, but even more so about the glorious era of Communism and the dictator Josip Broz...
Kai Caemmerer: Sites
Sites is an on-going body of work that explores the perpetual growth of the urban environment and how its constant flux seems to imbue the landscape with a sense of unrest or anxiety. Architectural trends, like the buildings they produce, continuously replace one another in the name of progress. Spurred...
Margery Clay: Building Series
When you look at a photograph you have the fact, the “reality” of the image before you. In an instant though, this image begins to release a flood of references. A building, which is objectively the remains or evidence of individual and collective history, transforms itself into something more, the...
Davit Koridze: Nowhere in Vaziani
Five kilometers away from Tbilisi, there’s a district called Vaziani. It’s a former military settlement with 41 buildings. The inhabitants call it “District 13”. There are no trees or green nature around. The asphalt road ends where the settlement starts. Plastic bags fly in the air because of the strong...

Mikula Platz: Socialist Classicism – Dictatorial Architecture Behind the Iron Curtain
The Socialist classicism found its origin in the socialist realism, the only art movement which was approved in the Soviet Union since 1934, as well as in the constructivism and the Russian avant-garde, which represented a style-defining architectural direction in the Soviet Union in the 1920s and early 1930s. Just...
Thibaut Derien: I Live in a Ghost City
Thibaut Derien began to travel France a decade ago, deliberately avoiding major roads and outputs bordered by kilometers of garish signs, bland prefabricated buildings, uniform housing estates and head-spining roundabouts, that years of careless urban policies have emerged as the new aesthetic standards of suburban areas. He was looking for...
Max Sher: Russian Palimpsest
Russian Palimpsest is a photographic exploration of the contemporary post-Soviet inhabited landscape in Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, and Ukraine (approximately 70 urban and suburban locations overall). I am shifting the optics from the Soviet sublime and Western exoticism to the everyday of our cities transitioning from a Communist Utopia to...
Patrick Tourneboeuf: Nowhere
Contrary to expectations and in spite of the varied architectural styles, the impression given by this habitat is that of uniformity and desolation. Beyond the striking visual effects of these pictures, this photographic work offers more than a sociological or ethnographic report. It encompasses a political dimension by revealing the...
