Ugnius Gelguda
SPACETIME (2008)
In his pictures of anonymous passers-by, Ugnius Gelguda lays bare inescapable elements of modern urban life: alienation and exclusion. He makes no effort to probe their personal histories or the context. On the contrary, through overexposure he removes all the details, and the situations and figures become more universal and interchangeable.
