Enchanted by the intense neon lights illuminating these cities so unlike Europe's older cities, Bialobrzeski sets out at a snail's pace with a traditional tripod-mounted view camera to record what he sees as a hypermodern fantasy world. In stark departure from the soberness of the "Dusseldorf" school, Bialobrzeski forces us, through a seductive and romantic palette, to understand that these futuristic, almost utopian downtown scenes are quite real and very much part of a daily routine for the millions of people who reside in these dense vertical cities.
