Billboard in Melk
Details View, 2010 "This is a photo series included in a photo-book in which the artist presents portraits of contemporary young people. The subjects appear melancholic, but they are juxtaposed with details of the city, revealing its inner essence. Lamaj outlines a human ecology, one focused on urban settings where fragility and hope intertwine. The feelings evoked by the images create a sort of landscape of a new generation. Without recurring to maps and geo-references, the project serves as an ‘Emotional Atlas’ consisting of faces, glimpses, and intimate close-ups."
