Welcome to the collection of images dedicated to life on the street — a multifaceted phenomenon reflecting the everyday existence of people outside traditional residential and workspaces. This collection showcases a variety of scenes and moments related to living in urban and rural settings, where the street becomes the central living space.

Life on the street encompasses a wide range of situations: from organized street markets and temporary sales points to places where people spend day and night, creating a unique lifestyle. The photos depict different types of street locations — parks, sidewalks, alleys, squares, gardens, and areas with street stalls and huts.

The physical characteristics of such spaces vary from dense urban development with paved roads and sidewalks to more open areas with greenery and natural landscapes. These spaces often contain temporary and mobile objects — curtains, old belongings, portable furniture, makeshift cooking tools, and storage for personal items.

The environment of life on the street may include various elements of urban infrastructure: public transport stops, streetlights, shop signs, trash bins, as well as the noise and movement of passersby and traffic. In these conditions, certain typical forms and patterns of spatial arrangement emerge — sleeping places on sidewalks, temporary shelters, improvised kitchens, and social gathering spots.

Life on the street reflects seasonal changes, as weather conditions significantly influence the organization and behavior of those living outside permanent homes. In winter, streets may be covered with ice and snow, complicating everyday life, while in summer they become venues for active street movement and temporary gatherings. Additionally, there are elements of the urban landscape that help adapt to these changes, including canopies, tents, and insulating materials.

This collection of images aims to show the structural and social aspects of life taking place on the street, providing comprehensive visual material for understanding the various forms of street existence and the surrounding environment in which they unfold.
