Alone Together by Aristotle Roufanis (1983).

Since 2016, Roufanis has been creating high-resolution

images of urban landscapes that offer the viewer an

intimate look into the lives of the city’s inhabitants.

The project Alone Together stems from Aristotle Rou-

fanis’ own experience when he lived in London.

A metropolis such as London, which has so many

possibilities to offer, allowed him to see the pervasive

problem of social isolation and individualism.

At times he felt a sense of loneliness: “How is it possible

to feel alone in a city with millions of people?”

This was the starting point for Roufanis’ visual investiga-

tion into this ‘epidemic of modern society’.

“The city does not release us from loneliness, and the

countryside does not give it to us; the loneliness is with-

in ourselves.”- Joseph Roux

Aristotle Roufanis has exhibited at the CAFA Museum in

Beijing, the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa

and the Depo Darm Contemporary Art Space in Athens,

among others.

His photo works are included in the collection of the

Royal Academy in London and in various private collec-

tions in London, Paris, Miami, Dubai and New York.

Cities such as Paris, Athens, London, Hong Kong and Mi-

ami are captured from high-rise buildings or hills on the

basis of extensive observations from sunrise to sunset,

during an hour-long process. Through images that are in-

tertwined, a highly detailed representation of the urban

landscapes is created that makes the viewer step into a

hyper-reality.

The complexity of modern life and the silence that you

can find in chaos form the basis of Roufani’s work. Your

personal space, which can sometimes be unavoidably

and painfully public, is where you can relax and reflect

on your position in the world. Roufanis has always been

interested in the architecture and raw size of large cities

that reveal this, and these themes come together in a

masterfully refined way in Alone Together.
