A universal object, a "territory" of pictorial concepts, a means of reproducing space—the city became one of photography's primary themes. Architecture served as a backdrop and narrative plane, a point of emotional tension and a valuable object in itself. The fusion of photography and architecture created a conventional pictorial standard, forcing photographers to seek the meaning of the frame in ways of representing the urban environment. By examining the city from the standpoint of repetition and monotony, photography challenged the principles of singularity and uniqueness, calling into question the very idea of rationality. The photograph transformed the city into a territory of silence, stillness, and stillness. This work examines photographic methods for depicting urban space, exploring the main stages of its formation, and naming the key figures and projects associated with urban photography at the turn of the 20th century. The book analyzes key pictorial techniques and traces the development of urban subjects in photography from the second half of the 19th to the early 20th centuries.
