This Basel exhibition brings together two distinctive series, Myths of Everyday Life and Cicatrice, by photographer Kostas Maros. Through these works, viewers can explore locations where human intervention remains visible long after people have departed. The photographs transition from night-time urban scenes to quiet marble quarries, capturing the subtle intersections of nature, culture, and industrial transformation.

In 'Traces of Absence', photographer Kostas Maros presents a collection of works that explore human presence within urban and natural landscapes. By bringing together his series 'Myths of Everyday Life' and 'Cicatrice', the exhibition examines how time, use, and transformation leave lasting imprints on our environment.
Kostas Maros, based in Basel, investigates the intersection of documentary observation and atmospheric storytelling in his photography. The exhibition 'Traces of Absence' synthesizes two distinct bodies of work: 'Myths of Everyday Life' and 'Cicatrice'. Through these series, Maros focuses on locations where human intervention remains visible long after the individuals have moved on, turning architectural details, fences, and modified terrains into narratives of time and influence. 'Myths of Everyday Life' captures a range of settings from night-time urban environments to tropical landscapes, creating a filmic quality that highlights the presence of what is absent. In contrast, the 'Cicatrice' series explores the marble quarries of Carrara, examining the interplay between geological time, industrial extraction, and cultural interpretation. Together, these photographs invite viewers to consider how landscapes act as repositories for human action and change.
The exhibition is open to the public during scheduled periods. In July, visitors can view the works by personal appointment; please contact the gallery for specific arrangements.
