What the city shows to those who stop

This work depicts a dense and layered urban space, where architecture, traffic, and human presence overlap to form an almost theatrical composition. Immobile figures, placed in the foreground, observe the city as if watching a stage, while behind them, collective movement unfolds without interruption. The chromatic treatment, dominated by luminous blues and orange accents, transforms the public square into a mental landscape. Arches, trees, and facades are repeated and doubled, creating a visual depth that blurs the boundaries between inside and outside, presence and reflection. The city seems simultaneously real and on display, offered up to the gaze. This photograph questions the viewer's position in contemporary urban space: are we actors or witnesses? It evokes those moments when we pause to observe the city at work, while simultaneously being part of it. Intended for lovers of contemporary art and narrative photography, this work offers an immersive experience, rich in detail and multiple interpretations, where the city becomes simultaneously setting, subject, and story.
