CRACKED CITIES ON TOUR

CRACKED CITIES
An Exhibition of Photographs and Digital Art Work
By
Julian Konczak

The start of nationwide tour of images created around the world linked by themes of decay.

The show combines film and digital technologies and uses print and screen based presentation. The artist explores a space beneath the global uniformity of high rise glass and metal and finds a mildewed world of broken cityscapes. The images link decaying continents across the cities of London, Tokyo, Kathmandu and New York. The digital work accesses a database of over 100 images: a slideshow allows us to eavesdrop on the comments of a virtual audience, while a digital book tantalizingly flicks the images in front of our eyes.
