Hungarian photographer Zsolt Hlinka can’t get enough of Budapest architecture. In his newly published photo series ‘Corner Symmetry’, the artist captures city buildings by shading out the sky and the surrounding scenes. Placing the subject matter before a homogeneous background, Hlinka’s pictures focus on the architectural details that people often overlook while being out and about. This is not the first time that Hlinka has played with contrast. His previous ‘Urban Symmetry’ series presented the city’s riverfront buildings entirely cropped out of their original context.
Budapest’s corner buildings appear from new angles in this new visual project by photo-artist Zsolt Hlinka. Building on the success of his Urban Symmetry series released last year, when Hlinka gained international fame by showing the city’s waterfront edifices without the surrounding scenes, his current work shows buildings with just the sky shaded out. These new pictures reveal more contrast, yet they are more realistic, with parked cars fringing the lower part of each image. “The homogeneous sky with beautiful colors is still one of the trademarks of these photographs, which invite viewers on a new surrealistic journey around the beautiful buildings of Budapest,” writes Hlinka on his website.
