Photo of the Year 2019

"The series represents a classic photographic format in high technical quality. The black and white photos strengthen the focus on form and structure, on light and shadow and evoke a sense of timelessness. However, time is present in the tower clock and in the photo of the man who´s body works as clock hands, telling us that this is a piece of contemporary urban architecture. The photos capture the gently curved domes and mark out various scales for human activities in the square. The hill-like shapes are sloped, allowing people to walk, lie, and play over them. Through the series, we are introduced to structural domes and the light they simultaneously draw to the underground creating a new urban topography that enables people of all ages to play and interact with the architecture. An excellent example of architecture making people behave in beautiful ways."
