Alexandra Şoman is
a Romanian photographer born in Timișoara, currently living in Cluj-Napoca
and studying psychology.
Alexandra
takes digital photos and often arranges them into diptychs
and kaleidoscopes.
The subject she explores most often in her recent work is city life and
interactions between people and public spaces.
Through the use of long exposures and by placing her subjects
out of focus, Alexandra renders the experience of urban
alienation and captures fleeting signs of human presence in otherwise empty
streets. A recurrent theme in Alexandra's photographs is the question of identity
in a big city - people only appear in passing, they do not seem to own or
inhabit the spaces that they live in, but merely travel through them.
Alexandra's photography is prevalently black and white, and
when she uses colour it's often the orange glow of street lamps and headlights
that deepen the feeling of non-belonging of people lost by the roadside and in
the city streets.
