βalkan Urban League w/o Borders

The Bulb Collective has been founded in January 2015 by Michail after an Open Day held in Bucharest. Since 2015 the collective has widen its geographical scope and it presently consists of photographers from 6 countries in the Balkans.

The collective consists of photographers active in urban (and rural) photography with an expressive shift to include highly aesthetic and poetic images in their assignments.

They share the same vision but not the same perspective which gives the necessary "polyphony" in their extremely ambitious endeavour to cover all the aspects of the Balkan neorealism.

Their visual signatures aspire to create iconic images and to be the best in metamorphosing and interpreting all aspects of life in this highly contradictory and fascinating part of the world.

Soft Sci Fi

It’s an ongoing speculative series of images that I started at the beginning of this year whose purpose is to describe, without emphasis, the reality that I perceive day after day in the city. A reality that I consider to be part of a SF scenario, but without the specific technological input.

They are images that meet at the crossroad between observational, anthropological and documentary photography in urban medium. I followed people, birds, dogs and buildings as main characters which we meet daily. (Photos and text by Marius Petrescu)
