CATEGORY 5: THE CITY AND ITS AESTHETIC
Author: Nurlan Tahirli
Title of the series: "White Beauty"
Title 1: “Lina Xente”
Title 2: “Mest Lind”
Title 3: “Planinar”
Title 4: “Trokut”
Description: It is about the beauty of the white color in the center of the city designed with modern construction materials and creative imagination. It's not usual nowadays to see spacious places, especially in downtown crowded capital cities. Cloudy days are chosen to make the sky less visible and the building to stand out. Thus sky was slightly overexposed in most scenes on purpose - to make it seamlessly merge with this white beauty.

Title: “New Horizon” Series
Place: Rennes, France
Description: This series focuses on the Les Horizons (The Horizons) residence located in the district of Bourg L'Évêque in the south-west of the city of Rennes, France. This residence is in the form of a double tower almost 100m high and built in 1970 under the direction of the architect Georges Maillols. The production of this series took place over a full week, divided into phases of observation, tests of framing and then into the actual shooting phase. The main goal of this series is to play on the architecture, angles and curves of the subject to create very graphic or even abstract shots, where the notion of building disappears. The choice of shooting during sun directions providing an optimal distribution of shadows for each frame increases this graphic. Similarly, the total absence of clouds in the sky combined with the whiteness of the building and the choice of a very contrasting black and white treatment allows the environment to be completely purified to focus on the geometric shapes.

Title: “Less Is More” Serie
Place: To Kwa Wan, Hong Kong
Description: Looking for the simple aesthetics belonging to To Kwa Wan (Hong Kong), and expressing the relationship between the public space and people of To Kwa Wan through the mutual gaze of lines, patterns and figures. ”Less is more” is my first community art project. It is dedicated to To Kwa Wan, an old district in Hong Kong. I was thinking back and forth on how to infiltrate aesthetic activities limited to pure art and refine culture into every corner of daily life; how to use imagination to eliminate the boundaries of life between each other.

Place: Sidi Bou Said, Tunis, Tunisia.
Description: This photo is a brief description of the cityscape that Sidi bousaid poses. A calm town near the capital Tunis, Tunisia. Sidi Bou Said is known for its white and blue buildings with minimal geomery, an architecture with a deep historic and visual relationship to the Mediterranean landscape. The picture was taken on a calm morning. I decided to call it Gelato.
