Synopsis

• A photographic portrait of 10 Asian megacities and their architecture
• A visual reflection on 21st-century cityscapes and urban developments
• First book on the work of Goran Potkonjak
• Text in English and German

Since 2015, Swiss photographer Goran Potkonjak has visited 10 major Asian cities: Bangkok, Busan, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Shenzhen, Singapore, Taipei, and Tokyo. His large-scale art project documents these megacities and their architecture through images taken from two different viewpoints: from the upper floors of high-rise buildings and at street level. The result is a multilayered, precise view of each of these vibrant metropolises.

The View Out of My Window brings together 200 photographs from this artistic research - 20 views of each city. The book thus reveals the essence of our urban present in a fascinating way: such vast cities thrive on their contradictions, in which inexhaustible energy often alternates with surprising calmness. Goran Potkonjak's images impressively illustrate this balance.

Text in English and German.
