The Russian-American photographer Anastasia Samoylova presents an exhaustive visual work that analyzes how photography and images are integrated into the contemporary urban landscape. Through multiple locations, from Moscow and New York to Amsterdam, Paris, London, Tokyo, Madrid, and Barcelona, the author documents an increasingly ubiquitous phenomenon in our cities, offering a critical and aesthetic look at the visual saturation of public space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book documents the \u003cem\u003eImage Cities\u003c\/em\u003e project, which studies the massive presence of photographic images in the urban environment. Samoylova captures advertising posters, billboards, digital screens, and other photographic reproductions that transform the experience of the city. The work, begun in Moscow and New York in 2021, was expanded thanks to the KBr Photo Award to other capitals such as Amsterdam, Paris, London, Brussels, Tokyo, Madrid, and Barcelona. Through a precise and conceptual gaze, the photographer examines how these images compete for our attention, modify the perception of space, and reflect globalized visual culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIntegration of photography into the contemporary urban landscape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eVisual saturation and image culture in global cities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between public space and visual communication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePhotographic documentation of urban environments in different world capitals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritical analysis of the presence of commercial images in daily life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at photographers, visual artists, exhibition curators, students of photography and contemporary art, as well as anyone interested in urban visual culture and how images shape our experience of the city.
