City Dynamics – Photography Expression. Creation Process

      Аннотация: Photography has a double meaning for the author: it is a means of exploring reality, and also a tool for creation. For the artist, the whole creative process relies on these two aspects of exploiting photography as a medium, with the primary focus on the search for unique visual forms of an image, specific for photography and impossible to achieve using other means of expression. Considering the whole artistic portfolio of the author, CITY DYNAMICS is the most complex photo collection in formal terms. It has been prepared mainly using a difficult and complicated technique of multiple exposure, and the process of creation harmoniously combines traditional photography (at the stage of shooting) with complicated digital image processing and a unique format in which the photographs are presented, i.e. direct prints on transparent substrates. This formally extended collection reflects the artist’s interests in urban phenomena, reveals his artistic style, creative experience and performance technique, but also clearly shows his approach to photography as a discipline of visual arts.
