HOMOurban (signed - last two copies)

by Imrich Veber

Photographs: Imrich Veber

Text: Ondrey Hlozek

Publisher: selfpublished

112 pages

Pictures: black and white illustrations throughout

Year: 2013

Price: 33 €

Comments: 500 (50 signed and numbered), Softcover / covered by the poster, Open binding 23,5 x 15,5 cm,

The HOMOurban series developed during the years of 2007 and 2012. With its visual form, it is a continuation of the strong tradition of the snapshot, but also of Czech documentary photography from the seventies and eighties. Imrich Veber hovers around the unclear border between tendencies that are most often designated as social or subjective documentary; he does not use the technology of today, and so the form of his photographs point to an unanchored timelessness. We find here the crampedness of urban space, the solitude of an individual in the middle of a crowd, absurdity, melancholy, estrangement, an element of the miraculous – all of this – as what usually tends to characterize similar city snapshots in the tradition of documentary photography. And we may even find something more.
