Finding out photomedia at college, specializing in capturing the constructed surroundings, led to structure and exploring how individuals work together with these environments. Beseda makes use of pictures to doc how we understand and work together with the designed areas round us. I’ve beforehand loved a few of Beseda’s imagery on Instagram. It was nice to see his prints. Photos printed begin chatting with us, invite us to be part of them and, at occasions, allow us to maintain or contact them. Offering background to his exhibition, Beseda quotes the well-known American freelance photojournalist Steve McCurry: “A number of the nice footage occur alongside the journey and never essentially at your vacation spot”. When individuals journey, or when they’re journeying close to residence, utilizing pictures to discover explicit locations is a worthy method. It permits the artist to offer viewers, themselves included, with a way of what these locations imply. A spot could be a bodily one, or an imaginary one evoked by expertise and emotion. It may be the element of a single location, or an in depth exploration of a complete road, metropolis or rural property.

His photos invite us into his recollections. Utilizing his digital camera as a software to arrest the fractures of time and discover the intersections of pure and constructed environments, Beseda found issues. He has interpreted locations seen once more a few years after leaving Europe; locations he would have been unable to go to in earlier years. He needed to affix the dots of his previous to his place now; and uncover the dots of his future. That’s, to attach moments and occasions which have formed his previous life and can form his future – not essentially static, some vital and others mundane. He does not suppose he has been profitable discovering the dots of his future – not stunning as most of us can not prophesy. Nevertheless, he has been profitable in his explorations together with his digital camera, having found and realized – each personally and artistically. All eleven glorious prints on show are worthy of particular person contemplation. They have been taken from transferring vehicles, buses or trains; so many embody the acquainted blur typically seen. I noticed these blurs as metaphors – for the areas between his earlier and now lives. As for many people, his recollections might have turn out to be a mixture of actuality and fantasy – a blurred area between the previous and now. The prints within the exhibition have a robust horizontal linearity about them, seemingly drawing strains between the dots of his childhood and now. There are areas between the artist’s digital camera and the captured scenes. Some photos may remind us of locations now we have handed by means of; close to the place he was or someplace else altogether. The photographs aren’t, intrinsically, architectural, panorama, documentary or journey photographs – though some might even see them as such. For me they lend themselves extra to intentional inventive expression.
