The significance of the city extends from the center to the edge. The edge then becomes the center, forming a new edge. Due to its intricate structure, the history of a city is constantly in transition. However, like an organism, cities also age, die, and are reborn. Because of the rapid rate of change, there is not enough time for the organism to create a new shell. Once a city has become a ghost town, it also becomes a statement on contemporary human landscape. Perhaps the landscape was influenced by migrations, whether natural or because of war. These spatial transfigurations, both surreal and metaphysical, provide distinctive perspectives on culture. The exhibition “The Empty City” reflects the artist‘s concern for urban life – its interpretation and reflection – by viewing the city through a series of metaphors from the summer solstice. |
