The Urban at the Periphery
The theme of the competition was "Das Urbane im Peripheren | The Urban in the Periphery". According to the call for entries, the aim was to trace the migratory movements between conurbations and rural areas, their respective attractiveness and independence, but also their dependence on and interdependence with each other, and the subtle or even obvious effects of the urban-rural movement. And what could be more predestined for this than architectural photography? The results are sometimes surprising, sometimes irritating, and stimulate reflection on our turbulent present on both an aesthetic and a rational level.
