FotoFreo 2010 Fringe Exhibition Cyrus Cornut, Cities are Like Oceans

Cities are Like Oceans shows the place of human beings in 
cities that are increasingly chaotic, and where modernity, 
dictated by the rule of economics tends to irrevocably take 
over traditions that have been established over time. 

French of Iraqui-Iranian descent, Cyrus Cornut first lived 
in Baghdad, then Cairo and finally Paris. Having studied 
architecture at university, today he is a professional 
photographer.  His work revolves around the city, its 
evolution, framework, empty spaces and the human behaviour 
that it leads to.  In 2006, his work on Chinese megacities 
was shown at the Rencontres Internationales de la 
photographie in Arles under Raymond Depardon.  He joined 
the photography collective Dolce Vita n the same year, 
and became a member of the Picturetank photography 
cooperative in 2007.
