Anastasia Samoylova: image cities

By

Abstract

"Our cities are becoming collages. Lifestyle advertising, real-estate billboards, and hyper-photogenic architecture make urban space feel like a fantasy stage set of ever-shifting scenery. International brands smother local history. Global capitalism imposes its visual order. In the spectacle, vision is distracted. From Tokyo to Moscow, via New York, Madrid, and London, Anastasia Samoylova has photographed seventeen cities with an eye both critical and aesthetic. Her complex compositions frame the urban collage in all its troubled beauty, flattening its layers into seductive and estranged visual poems." -- Page [4] of cover.
