Concept
The city as an object of observation that remains untouchable.
In the photograph, St. Petersburg is separated from the viewer by several boundaries: a metal fence, a river, and the waterfront line. The buildings are arranged almost like exhibits in a display case. We see the city, but we remain outside the depicted space.
The photograph was processed in Adobe Photoshop to lend it even greater detachment and haziness.
The acrylic becomes yet another boundary between the viewer and the city. It does not merely protect the photograph; it continues its composition.
The glossy surface reflects the surrounding space and the viewer themselves. Thus, a contradiction arises: the photograph creates the illusion of depth, while the reflection draws attention back to its surface.
