Metropolis:­ City Life in the Urban Age Noorderlicht Photofestival 2011 Photography

Since the beginning of the 21st century, more than half of the world's population are living in cities. Metropolis:­ City Life in the Urban Age shows the many faces of the modern city.
Never in history has the number of people living in cities grown faster than in recent decades. This has enhanced the role of the city as a cultural, economic and social nerve centre. The city is the birthplace for a culture and morality that extends far beyond its boundaries.
In photography of diverse sorts – documentary and constructed – Metropolis literally leads you through a city of images. Metropolis exposes the soul of the city, the place where our future is being shaped.
DIPTYCH
Metropolis is the second part of a diptych about the consequenses of the worldwide urbanisation. Part 1, Land - Country Life in the Urban Age was held 2010 in Leeuwarden.
