If someone believes that great accomplishments, gigantic scale of work and grandiose buildings are myths about the distant past, then he is cruelly mistaken. It is enough to open your eyes wide, and the scale of the modern world, inhabited by billions of people, is simply amazing. Proof - a new collection of photos from the famous German designer and photo artist Christian Stoll.
This collection is called "Epic" - that is, an epic. Using conventional panoramic photography and design skills, Christian Stoll shows all the greatness of modern civilization. After all, humanity is not just a thinking mold on the surface of Mother Earth, but a truly great community of minds. In its mood, this collection is somewhat similar to the famous works of David Fuhrer.
Whatever the opponents of globalization say, only through the joint efforts of countries and peoples can human activity become something important on the scale of an indifferent universe. Giant skyscrapers, terminals, ports and airplanes - what was created by the hardworking hands and minds of thousands of people, has become the main subject of the image in the modern "epic of the world".
Of course, many of these photographs will cause sadness and nostalgia for the natural beauty of our green planet. However, humanity has long made its choice, and must go the way to the end: the cycle "Epic" evokes a subconscious feeling of something cosmic, supernaturally strong and powerful.
Creativity of a venerable (started working in 1991) designer Christian Stoll - a topic worthy of more than one publication: he also owns very talented works in the field of creative advertising, interesting photographs and installations, which we will also write about. They are all interesting in their own way, but the modern epic of the world in its cycle "Epic" - something that, it seems, cannot be passed by indifferently. And if this scale of the macrocosm scares you away, then all that remains is to turn to the beauty of the microcosm.

City Lights at Night: Photographs by Christian Stoll
American writer Ed McBain compared the city to a huge woman, incredibly beautiful in the evening and at night, and repulsive in the morning - without makeup and in curlers.
