Series of photographs taken from billboards in Mexico.
Like land art project
Undefined signs / codes in the landscape
External codes, the deciphering begins.
Codes that become pictures and
Pictures that become codes
A photo series in - work in progress - since 2001, about the special, huge billboards (billboards) in Mexico. For me, the numbering is like a mysterious land art project, as the size ratio of these panels (usually at least 12 x 5 meters) creates its own relationship to the landscape. Nowhere - worldwide - do I have this kind of coding and also the kind of changing, rotting and re-generation of numbering (they are telephone numbers) experienced on billboards, as in Mexico. The majority of the photos were taken in motion on highways. Codes & Numbers" is the 1st part of the Labyrinth Project and also part of the series: "Mexico by Car".
