„Darkness Visible“ is a visual journey through urban landscapes portraying their structural and formal qualities. Conceived as a black and white study it presents a narrative of fictional minimalism that is drawn from real places in present time.
The scenes and views of this recent photo-series by Mani Nejad speak a distinct aesthetic language that sets these works apart from the genre of classic city portraiture as we know it. All of the images have been shot between dusk and dawn with the idea to set the stage in this certain mood of in-between: When greyscales prevail and the many hues of black suddenly get noticed, when the scene is dark and yet objects can be clearly discerned.
„Mani Nejad“ has also been published by Blackqube Books and gives insight into the artist’s paintings, their ideas and narratives. Read more about these publications in Blackqube Magazine.
