This series of photographs stems from influences of psychogeography and anthropology, exploring the passage of time, loss of identity, and the process of alienation through the prism of non-places. By studying the behaviour of people while they are in public spaces with complete strangers, I begin to create a micro-world of staged narratives in which I open the discourse about the reflection of alienation as the fundamental pathology of contemporary society.
The nature of these spaces corresponds to the way of life in hypermodernity, which is increasingly obsessed with control and safety and is characterised by impatience and the speeding up of time. Through this work, I present the state of emptiness formed in an individual due to manipulative codes and automated instructions in hypermodern spaces – spaces that influence people’s behaviour not by creating a unique identity or relationship, but rather by creating loneliness and similarity that mirrors millions of others.
