Philip Shalam – New Frontiers for the Alberto Levi Gallery
The Alberto Levi Gallery ventures into photography, presenting Philip Shalam’s captivating works at the Milan Photo Fair.
Shalam’s Metropolis series results from years of photography and over two decades of life in New York City, the city that first ignited his creative vision. He combines iconic architectural elements worldwide into a single, dynamic composition through intricate, hand-assembled collages. His process—meticulously cutting, arranging, and layering printed photographs—creates a deconstructed yet harmonious vision of urban life.
Alongside Metropolis, Shalam’s Refracted Lens series offers a poetic reflection on the relationship between people and architecture. In one striking image from Liverpool Street Station, a fleeting moment of human connection stands out amidst the bustling city’s movement.
