Fade Away
Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek
Concealed, faded and rusting, the signs lie by the roadside. Their text and associative images have lost their connection with reality, as if they had been forgotten in the landscape. The photographer Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek has tracked down these anachronistic remains in Ibiza and presents them in a poetic photo publication as a reminiscence of the past.

description
A man in a hat hurries across the zebra crossing; a girl with plaits on her way to school; signs of restaurants that have long closed down; pictograms of vehicles that have long since ceased to be driven on the road: With her camera Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek releases the obsolete signs on Ibiza from their state of being unheeded. The photographs reveal not only their humorous but also their artistic sides, left behind by time and weather. A photographic gem about impermanence.
