Vojta Voves, a street photographer, creates a series of photographs THE MEANING OF HIS OWN LIFE, showing people navigating through a modern city, attempting to make sense of the tense situation the society is currently in. The work’s aim is to show how volatile the world is, both economically and politically, making it that much more difficult to focus on one’s self. However, it is okay to stop and look carefully. To care about meaning.
The visual approach is inspired by analogue street photography, using the native aspect ratio of 35mm film. This work is not tied to a specific European city, but rather it uses the concept of a city as a theatre, the stage-set where people act out their daily lives. Displaying the images in black and white allows the viewers to focus on the moment itself.
