All my conscious life was related to poetry, but at some point I found that I could no longer write a single line. Like I have lost the power of speech. The only way of expression I have left was the camera on my iPhone. I began to come to different places and photograph words, and then collect texts from them, like a puzzle. And each place had its own story to tell.

 

Advertising posters, billboards and signs are a verbal part of the urban landscape, which we pay little attention to. But they remain on the periphery of consciousness. In this text method there are fewer opportunities for authorial manipulation. It becomes more honest and documentary than if I wrote it myself. After all, photography is perceived as something ontologically true.
