In Urban Echoes, Aleksandr Babarikin captures the everyday rhythm of city life through its crowds, architecture and light, turning them into a kind of visual heartbeat. As he moves through the streets of New York, he uses slow shutter speeds, mirrored reflections and surface distortions created by glass, water or plastic sheets placed in front of the lens. The images blur the line between people and buildings, where silhouettes and streaks of light merge together. The series shifts between the noise of urban traffic and moments of dreamlike stillness, evoking both movement and pause. Through this balance, Babarikin reveals not only the physical presence of the city but also its pulse, suggesting how people flow through the metropolis while also being shaped by it.
