Exposed Landscapes
EXPOSED LANDSCAPES
City people; we are hasting between coffee shops, clubs and busy sidewalks, in the middle of everything, with our shiny Instagram feeds, always in a swarm. Until we enter out tiny apartments and step into lonesomeness, behind closed doors, where we leave something of us behind and enter another world, wether or not we want to. Here, in the darkness of our own thoughts, something is catching up with us again that was hidden within the sparkling world outside.
This photographic series examines the stark contrast between our public, social media-curated identities and the private moments of solitude that characterize contemporary urban life. Through juxtaposed images of external bustle and interior solitude, the work reveals the emotional landscapes that exist behind the facades we present to the world.
Each photograph explores the threshold between these realms - the moment of transition from the performative self to the authentic, often vulnerable self we become in private. The series questions what is lost and gained in these transitions, and how the space of solitude can be both a refuge and a confrontation with aspects of ourselves we try to escape through constant social engagement.
Special attention is given to the physical spaces that contain our private selves - small apartments that become universes of contemplation and emotional processing, where we finally encounter thoughts and feelings that have no place in our curated public narratives. By making these invisible interior moments visible, the work invites reflection on the universal experience of navigating between our social and private identities.
