Cities are Like Oceans shows the place of human beings in cities that are increasingly chaotic, and where modernity, dictated by the rule of economics tends to irrevocably take over traditions that have been established over time. Man as a social being no longer has a place here. Human scale has been reduced to nothing. Man, with an individualistic future is lost like a drop in the urban ocean. Houses crumble, skyscrapers grow, the ground is filled with urban communication networks. The world marches on.
French of Iraqui-Iranian descent, Cyrus Cornut first lived in Baghdad, then Cairo and finally Paris. Having studied architecture at university, today he is a professional photographer. His work revolves around the city, its evolution, framework, empty spaces and the human behaviour that it leads to. In 2006, his work on Chinese megacities was shown at the Rencontres Internationales de la photographie in Arles under Raymond Depardon. He joined the photography collective Dolce Vita in the same year, and became a member of the Picturetank photography cooperative in 2007.
