This solo exhibition delves into the aesthetic tension between order and interruption, silence and noise. Berdat captures the city as a space shaped by both structure and absence. His frames are meticulously composed, often marked by vast stretches of negative space, drawing the eye toward subtle human presence or fleeting gestures.
There’s a dark atmosphere that permeates his images—not in mood alone, but in tone and density. Shadows dominate. Light is often a thin blade, cutting across surfaces, outlining the anonymous figures that inhabit his world. Buildings become grids. Streets become stages. And always, a sense of stillness hangs in the air, even when life moves through it.
This is urban photography stripped down to its essence: shape, contrast, silence, and interruption. It’s in these gaps—between the lines, behind the shadows—that Berdat finds something quietly human.
