Description: Photography developed with the rise of major cities during the last great period of globalization. This publication explores some of the ways contemporary artists and photographers working in the still and moving image make current economic conditions visible through experiences of urban environments. The aim of the collection is to propose a series of observations and conversations about the visibility of cities and economies, revealing aspects of photographic works that are both political and poetic in their representation of public urban environments. Together, these works and texts offer suggestions as much as descriptions of how we congregate within and use such spaces as modern citizens.
