Abstract

This paper explores the conceptual relationship between urban space and photography by positioning the city as a form of visual narrative. Rather than treating photography as a tool of documentation, this study argues that photographic practices actively construct and mediate the meaning of urban environments. Drawing on visual culture theory, semiotics, and spatial theory (particularly the works of Henri Lefebvre and Roland Barthes), this paper develops a framework for understanding how cities can be “read” through images. The analysis is situated within the context of Yogyakarta, a city characterized by the coexistence of traditional and modern spatial practices. Through a descriptive-interpretative approach, the study demonstrates that urban photography does not merely capture reality but shapes visual narratives by selecting, framing, and organizing elements of everyday life. The findings suggest that photography plays a crucial role in constructing urban meaning, influencing how space is perceived, experienced, and interpreted. This paper contributes to visual culture and design discourse by proposing a conceptual model of the city as a narratively constructed visual field.
