Description
Over the last years Aram Tanis traveled to Asia where, without becoming clear at which location the photographs were taken, he captured urban daily life. And in a way he didn't. In these cities with her millions of citizens he constantly looked for places and situations where people were absent. That is, his pictures, show us human traces in the form of high-rise buildings, the swarming of electricity wires and dirty sidewalks. But the people seem to be wiped from the earth, like the first day after a catastrophe.
Only the animals are there. The tapir. Two peacocks, captured from so close that you almost squint when you look at them. A dog without head or tail, which falls outside the scope of the picture. A white parrot on a stick fills almost the entire image, like the bald corpse of a plucked duck.
Urban Jungle is the result of a thorough investigation into how the urban environment is being experienced.
