City Speaks” brings together 96 photographs from cities around the world, arranged in 48 diptychs that reveal the hidden connections binding our urban experiences. Each pairing creates a visual conversation: two scenes from different locations that intertwine, overlap, and illuminate each other in unexpected ways.
The exhibition explores global connectivity through the intimate format of the diptych. By placing disparate urban moments side by side, the work reveals a symbiosis between different parts of the world: parallel rhythms of daily life, echoing architectural forms, and shared human experiences that transcend geography and culture.
Through these visual dialogues, viewers discover that cities, regardless of location, speak a common language, one of light and shadow, motion and stillness, isolation and community. “City Speaks” invites us to see our interconnected world not as a collection of separate places, but as a continuous conversation, where every city contributes its voice to a larger, collective story.
Exhibition Curator: Marija Milovanović, GPU Secretary General
