Exploring the intersection of urban decay and symbolic imagery, Alexey Titarenko’s photographs evoke a contemplative atmosphere through stark contrasts and layered textures. The images reveal the visual complexity of cityscapes marked by history and change, focusing on architectural details and signs as metaphors of societal shifts.

Nomenklatura of Signs presents a curated selection of 120 pages, printed by Damiani in 2020, where each photograph serves as a signifier of past ideologies and their lingering presence in contemporary settings. Titarenko’s work merges documentary rigor with artistic abstraction, inviting viewers to consider how urban environments embody cultural memory.
