Project description in English.

The photo essay Bluer than the sky consists of a series of photos from the streets of Novi Sad City, glass buildings photographed through time and in different times of the year, reflecting the light and surrounding, and it captures unexpected play that glass facades create in their daily dynamics. It holds a certain dose of melancholy because of visible decay and decline of the material, like a promise not delivered. Modernity and intention to create a future urban look disappear in shattered mirroring, resulting in something that resembles deconstructed postcards.
