Former Spaces, 2004 - 2012, selection
The photo-cycle Former spaces was creating since 2004 until 2012. These are records images of a disappearing city monuments, city icons or places that were important for inhabitants.. I documents them as abandoned, lonesome and neglected, as areas reminiscent of their faded glory. I am looking for the places that in humans can induce a feeling of nostalgia and melancholy. Each one photographed space has its own story, their own cultural - political context under which the viewer can make their own interpretation.
I searching for the places with its own identity. I am interesting in its transformation, but also in the death of that space.
This is a my personal story about one Central European city, Bratislava and its disappearing city icons due to the time and city changes.
Photographies are part of the collection of the City gallery in Nitra, Slovakia
