Idea
In this work I want to deal with idea of non places and the way they are defined by signs and loss of identity. I am interested in the way that signs predict the human behavior and my concentration goes into their flow of thoughts. I am interested into exploring if today-s overflow of information and globalization which made signs even more readable and our minds and actions more predictable. I want to interrupt this places with creations of signs which should stop the usual flow which happens there and maybe have effect in retaining identity or sense of it. This idea for now is in experimental phase since it needs to be narrowed by the unity of signs thematic.
Final
I want to create signs which will reflect my idea and my final work will be photography because it carries a lot of information, it is manipulative and believable. Signs will be printed and put on the places and than photographed.
First Phase photos
Development
From previous idea and photos emerged new approach of combining virtual world with non virtual. Most of the viewers were able to Identify mostly with the photo of "loading" sign which lead me to think of our dependence of technology, computers and internet and how it is integrated in our non lives to that point that it seems real. Partially it is also photography fault which is today mostly used as digital medium connected to computer and internet technology. I wonder how will it change if photography becomes materialized.
