STRANGE DAYS #01-#02
2016-2017
WHERE AM I, WHERE ARE YOU COFFEE OR CRESCENT WHERE ARE YOU GOING? ALONE? WITH SOMEBODY? METRO OR
TRAM? MORNING OR EVENING? PRETTY OR UGLY? THE MORE THEY ARE, THE LONELIER YOU GET? TOMORROW OR TODAY?
JOB OR LIFE? PHONE OR IPHONE? LOVE IT OR HATE IT? WHY IS EVERYTHING SO STRANGE?
DO COLORFUL PONIES STILL EXIST IN OUR DREAMS? WE KILL A BUTTERFLY EVERY DAY.
ARMLESS MONSTERS GIVE BIRTH TO THE DARKNESS. WE WOULD RUN AWAY FROM THE DARKNESS, TO THE PLACE WHERE THERE IS LIGHT. GLEAMING, GOLDEN FIELD, GLITTERY COLORFUL FLOWERS.OUR SORROWS ARE GOING MAD IN THEIR LOCKED URNS. WE ALSO BECAME ARMLESS MONSTERS. WE CREATE THE DARKNESS FOR OURSELVES AND WOULD RUN AWAY TO OUR GOLDEN CELLS.
In 2016, together with the graphic designer Diana Terjék, we have made the photozine series "Strange Day's". Our goal was to create such a photozine that reminds the people of a book of poems and they can consume it more easily. Besides it we wanted to tell current problems and doubts of our generation. In these photozines contain the poems and the photographs, both formats I create with my smartphone. The texts got into the notes, the photographs were born in the act of walking. On the other hand, our goal was also to make the photozines more popular in the century of image overproduction.
The zines are about problems that are experienced as an effect of the digitalised society.
Isolation, loneliness, narcism and the loss of reality.
Where are we now and where can we hide our secrets?
