Jan Astner, Voluptuous Towns No. 011 Bibbiena Painting

For Jan Astner every city is different. Not as urban planning and architecture. People are different, different ways of living, different customs. It is not the residents that shape the city, it forms them as a whole community, groups but also individuals. It is fascinating in traveling to discover this sphere that you can't see, which you can experience individually by looking at people, and actually looking at them. For Jan Astner it is a colorful, diverse world and always hiding something from visitors. Each city has its taboo, its secrets hidden - because each city lives its own intimate life.
