“urban minutes” is a collection of urban images from numerous cities across the globe. This photo project has an aesthetic, yet analytic approach on the conception of public space and cityscapes. Each image of the series is charged with time by being exposed for a time span of 60 seconds using an analogue mechanical camera.
An aspect I always find myself coming back to in the process is the human scale – a term associated with discourses in architecture and urbanism. It relates to urban space and describes our physical proportion to the built environment. How wide are the streets of a city? What is the average height of buildings? Does the city have public spaces where people are given the possibility to gather and to socially interact? Are distances walkable? And last, but not least: How do we humans create and share urban space and how does it in turn affect our condition and behaviour?
