Document Summary
Space in relation to branding, promotional culture, etc. How promotional culture and consumer culture gives shape to our landscape. Attempt to link them to define modernity and define the modern city. Way they focus on the refuse, hidden, half-covered places of the city. Economy constantly has to destroy itself and reconstruct. The inform how i ask questions of space and with my camera. I think it is one of the ambiguous powers of advertising industry and products. Outdoor industry and its billboards throw into play how we live spatially, what cities are to us and how do we intervene. Space is an ongoing social production rooted in history and shaped by economics and cultural forces. Link to history material is the next step. Geographical materials offers demystification of space and politicizes production of space. History of making and history of space = two are codetermined. How in turn is organized space produced in accordance to need of capital.
