“Metropolis” by Alan Schaller
Alan Schaller through his series ‘Metropolis’ examines the way in which we are dwarfed by the world around us, and how that can lead us to feel. Specializing in black and white photography, Alan’s work is often abstract and incorporates surrealism, geometry and high contrast features to draw viewers into the captured moment.
All visitors are welcome to view the ‘Metropolis’ exhibition at Leica Gallery Melbourne or Leica Store Sydney until 1 August 2019.
