Grand Prix Images Vevey
2010
Suburbia

Recipient of the Broncolor Prize – Light from the Grand Prix Images Vevey 2009/2010, Suburbia is a series that explores the notion of residential suburbs borrowing references from advertising, cinema or TV series. In the footsteps of artists such as Gregory Crewdson, Bronek Kozka meticulously stages the impressive gap between the stereotyped representations of suburbs conveyed by the mass media and the memories of those who actually lived in them. The careful lighting and set-ups confer a fictional tone to these images that blend collective memory with day-to-day reality.
