Stadtkonfrontationen / City Confrontations, a joint project by Slovakian photographers Matú Zajac (born 1971) and Michal Fulier (born 1981), is a photographic essay on the big, pulsating metropolises of the east and the west. Matú Zajac shows the Asian cities of Peking, Delhi and Hanoi as a jumble of stirring events and unexpected experiences. He is searching for the identity of the people who live in these rapidly developing cities, where the past and the future clash with colossal force. Michal Fulier photographs human lives and destinies in the European capital cities of London, Paris and Rome. He deliberately seeks out social issues and everyday situations, registers peoples lives in their confrontation with the modern and in the nervous movements of the people the city has absorbed.
The essay confronts these two worlds, shows becoming and passing away at these hot spots of modernism and reveals how near and how far from one another the two worlds are.
