Book description: Recent works by Levan Mindiashvili. 

Introduction text by Dr. Wolfgang Till Busse - “Urban Identities” is a personal, subjective investigation of urban space, architecture and city structure based on living experiences in New York, Buenos Aires and Tbilisi. It is a private diary, in which “public space” becomes a playground for revelations of personal approaches, intimacies and memories. Overlapping silhouettes are creating a time-space continuum for this extended journey into constructions of a very complex, almost puzzle-like, structure named Identity." (Levan Mindiashvili)
