Metropolis Photography

Locations: Paris, France

IN the Metropolis series, I look at the city as a monumental witness to the fundamental rupture of human social nature. Paris, the standard of classical urban aesthetics and history, is being methodically deconstructed by me here. His recognizable locations become lifeless scenes, a theater of the absurd, where architectural harmony only emphasizes existential disharmony. The project is not just a statement of loneliness in a crowd. This is a visual exploration of how digital uncertainty is reshaping the very fabric of human relationships. I capture the urban environment with impeccable, almost algorithmic precision (strict symmetry, precise perspective, contrast of light and shadow), so it becomes a metaphor for the digital matrix in which modern man is enclosed. The figures of people, if they appear, dissolve into this geometry, become silhouettes, data points — lonely and lost, not in spite of, but as a result of hyper-connectivity.The light and shadow in my shots are not just a formal device. This is a battlefield: sharp shadows — cracks in reality, traps of alienation; islands of light are fragile, temporary aesthetic shelters that I am trying to discover in the concrete-asymmetrical landscape of modernity. These shelters are illusory, like a smartphone screen replacing a live look. Metropolis is the materialization of vulnerability in the face of digital entropy, eroding genuine connection. I capture the moment when the classical beauty of a city (its forms, perspectives, its very soul) is deformed under the pressure of a new, inhuman logic — the logic of replacing real relationships with digital simulacra. The series becomes a dialogue with fear of the future, where the museum city turns into a mirror of our collective isolation. This is not nostalgia, but a strategy of resistance — an attempt to create a shield against decay through the aesthetic clarity of photography and to highlight with the flashlight of art the gap that yawns between us in the middle of a noisy, “connected” metropolis.
