Since 2015 Swiss photographer Goran Potkonjak has visited ten major Asian cities: Bangkok
Busan Guangzhou Hong Kong Kuala Lumpur Seoul Shenzhen Singapore Taipei and Tokyo. His
large-scale art project documents these megacities and their architecture through images taken
from two different viewpoints: from the upper floors of high-rise buildings and at street
level. The result is a multilayered precise view of each of these vibrant metropolises. The
View Out of My Window brings together 200 photographs from this artistic research-20 views of
each city. The book thus reveals the essence of our urban present in a fascinating way: such
vast cities thrive on their contradictions in which inexhaustible energy often alternates with
surprising calmness. Goran Potkonjak's images impressively illustrate this balance.
