Photography Exhibition THE CITY IN BLACK AND WHITE

Author: Yurii Naumovych
Country: Ukraine
Title of series: “Parallels”
Place: Kyiv, Ukraine
Description: My project is a visual representation of various aspects of human life, emotions, and experiences. Black-and-white photography accentuates the contrast, drama, or abstraction in the images. Each diptych has its own theme or idea but collectively, they create connections, exploring contrasts, balance, the passage of time, and reflecting the inner states or social aspects of life.

Title of Series: “Perchè piangi, Roma?”
Place: Rome, Italy
Description: Although "Perchè piangi, Roma?" figuratively means "Why are you crying, Rome?", the word "piangere" also refers to raining. The series explores the strange occurrence of Rome, a city with an eternal soul, looking damp and gloomy in black-and-white - even after the clouds are all gone.

Title: “Vestige”
Place: São Paulo
Description: This series explores the emptiness in the streets of the city of São Paulo, which are full of people every day filling their spaces. What is left when there is no more human life on the streets? If we all disappeared abruptly, what would city evidence say about us?
Our old buildings contrast with contemporary architecture, our streets, trails, trash, objects, signs, everything that makes up a city. What story would you tell about us? What this empty city would say about how we built it, how we experience it, occupy it, inhabit it. Reflect on our legacy, to rethink our present. All photographs in this series were taken on 35mm film.

Title: “Main Street”
Place: Finland.
Description: A street of an abandoned tourist city. Analog photo with large format camera on sheet film.
Bio: I am a retired Professor from the University of Applied Sciences. I taught forest engineering at Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences. My main subjects were leadership, organizational behavior, sociology, and environmental philosophy. Taking photos is my favorite hobby. My photographic specialties are film photography in large format, medium format, and 35 mm size. One of my favorite specialties is alternative chemicals and methods. I take sometimes pinhole photos. Sometimes I develop my films with a beer developer, coffee developer, or developer of birch leaf concentration. My aesthetic aims are minimalism, black and white, and abstract expressions of life and shapes of scenery and human life.

Title: “Contrasts of Nature and Industry”
Place: Vlore, Albania
Description: This black-and-white photograph captures a striking juxtaposition between the natural and industrial worlds. In the foreground, a large, gnarled tree stands prominently, its branches reaching out against the sky. The tree's intricate details and textures are highlighted by the monochrome palette, emphasizing its rugged beauty. In the background, an industrial structure rises, its modern lines and shapes contrasting sharply with the organic forms of the tree. The scene is set on a sandy beach, with scattered driftwood and grasses adding to the natural elements. The overall composition evokes a sense of balance and tension between the enduring presence of nature and the encroaching influence of human industry.
