My project “Living in The Negative Space” in the special projects section of the ArtVilnius’20 Contemporary Art Fair. I started working on these series a while ago. I observed all these people living on the streets and subway platforms of NYC next to the glitz and glamour of megalopolis. To me it was a world starkly different from what we live, like entering another space, kind of alternative living, or NEGATIVE SPACE (meaning opposite of ours). To emphasize the meaning of the “negative space” I literally inverted most of the images to a negative. I created these composite works using photos I shot with different cameras over a 5-year period. Images are combined and edited in Photoshop and ready for the large format output.
