We recently wrote about one of the photo series by photographer Zsolt Hlinka, in which he made pictures of the inner courtyards of 100-year-old buildings of Budapest’s Grand Boulevard. This time, he stepped onto the street and looked up to the sky from a new perspective, creating the stunning “Air Corridor” series. If we look closely at the sky framed by the buildings, we can see strange shapes defined by the contours, sharp corners, rounded lines, facades, and many windows of the surrounding buildings.
“The series is based on my previous project titled ‘100-Year-Old Houses’, capturing courtyards of the Nagykörút [Grand Boulevard] from a worm’s-eye view. The photographs of ‘Air Corridor’ move out from the closed courtyards to the open streets, and instead of showing the sky framed by buildings, the pictures present it as an opened corridor with more directions, which creates space for the buildings and also separates them. Closed and central compositions of the ‘100 Year Old Houses’ series are opened by ‘Air Corridor’, providing different dynamics and meaning for the photographs,” Hlinka writes on his website. We look forward to seeing what he will be up to next!
