Statement - Urbanity takes centre stage on Valentin Blank’s photographic journey. Intrigued by the candid layout and plain shapes of modern architecture and industrial sites, Valentin approaches his subjects as one would approach individuals. Entering this dialogue, he often feels the need of incorporating parts of the surroundings and thereby respecting or questioning the delicate relationship of things. Unlike anonymous documentary images, the resulting photographs expose the involving aura and expressiveness of the sites. Valentin’s photographic work is characterised by consistency and formal rigour, yet his pictures always remain considerate. works contact legal
