Homage to the Old Town in the Same George lens: If you weren't born then, you couldn't have seen it

An exhibition titled 'Istog Žorž Hommage Starom gradu' opened at the VBZ Bookstore in Rijeka, featuring 30 black-and-white analog photographs taken between 1969 and 1977. The images document the 'sinking' Old Town of Rijeka, capturing architecture before the construction of new buildings designed by Igor Emili, which led to the demolition of older structures. The exhibition highlights the contrast between past and present, emphasizing the loss of historical elements during urban renewal. Photographer Istog Žorž notes that these photos offer a unique opportunity to see the city as it was before major renovations. The event is organized in collaboration with the Maritime and Historical Museum of the Croatian Coast and aims to preserve a segment of the city’s history through documentary photography.
