Eli Singalovski: Formal Solutions

Singalovski photographs buildings at night, using long exposure, in dramatic black-and-white and centered compositions that capture the whole structure. He isolates the photographed buildings from their environment and neutralizes “distractions” and interferences, in order to focus the viewer’s gaze on the façade of the architectural object, with its plethora of details against black, opaque skies. This method of photography emphasizes the buildings’ monumentality and plasticity and features them as sculptural presences in the expanse.

Through focusing on architecture and urban landscapes, the project raises political questions about the way in which a historical narrative is anchored, how governments use the public space to express their ideology, and the resulting ramifications for these actions.
