Concept
In my photographic project, I reflect on how the city’s appearance transforms when explored through its infrastructure and material underbelly. I ask myself: what forms the hidden foundation of daily order? I am drawn to the spaces displaced by the city—liminal, abandoned, slipping from view. These places have fewer social regulations, and I feel freer there. I diverge from my usual routes to find hidden spots within familiar landscapes: walking under bridges, moving along worn-out paths, and observing drainage and sewage systems. Infrastructure proves to be both an integral part of the city and a layer hidden behind its facade. I search for junctures where the image of the city fragments, and the system exposes its structure: groundwater in tunnels, construction grime, rust on supports, and broken barriers. I am interested in how time settles upon and permeates materials. This generates an alternative vision of the city, where dereliction coexists with construction, and vital structures are pushed to the periphery of sight, yet continue to maintain order.

Exhibition Sketch
The stand is constructed from Euro construction fences set upon concrete blocks. Construction debris is located beneath the stand. Photos printed on matte, litho-realistic paper are affixed to the stand using magnets.
