Alexey Titarenko uses the technology of the camera to trace the passage of time in a public space; visually capturing the dynamics of mass human movement through an area. The resulting imagery is quite stunning.
The ghostly aspect of the images is impossible to avoid and gives the photos a stark haunting quality. I suspect the use of black and white photography for this is necessary as colour would ruin the uniform nature that grey scale gives to the ghostly apparition of mass movement.

Cam,
that's a brilliant photograph of movement from his City of "Shadows series. The exposure must have been quite long. It's good to see people continuing to use film.--though this is at the more serious, professional or art photography end. I love the earlier sign series as well.
