A Closer Look at the Ordinary (I)

Serge Najjar’s approach to photography is intuitive. It derives from his passion for modern and contemporary art. Always on foot across the city, the photographer tracks down architecture, surfaces and “ordinary” shapes which when seen from unusual angles appear as surreal figures: shadows become geometric sculptures; three dimensional shapes morph into planes; perspectives tilt, the image is constructed, reality is cut, riffled through and rebuilt by the lines that surround us.
