»The city has changed dramatically. It is turning into another Singapore with skywalks, loads of airconditioned malls, and Western-style coffee stalls.
It's easier now to buy a vanilla latte than a pad thai in the streets of the capital of Siam.« (Peter Bialobrzeski)
About the City Diaries
The city at the beginning of the 21st century is the major theme of Peter Bialobrzeski's City Diaries. In the project, started in 2013 and so far comprising of 19 volumes, he has been investigating whether the preconception of a city, a product of prejudices, personal observations and what is conveyed by the media, can be transformed into a specific image.
Whether Wuhan or Wolfsburg - Bialobrzeski is interested in the cultural differences increasingly concealed by globalization, which he makes visible by means of a seemingly objectifying aesthetic. Current political and social developments are also reflected in Bialobrzeski's images and diary entries. The format and page count of all titles are identical. This systematic approach allows for a comparative view of a wide array of different urban situations. Further volumes will be published intermittently.
