Projects
The Projects ”Urban Details” has been going on for several years and consists of photos from big urban areas around the world. With the pictures Artlizard investigates the human impact on the environment and our urging desire for symmetry, rigor and orderly patterns. He leads our eyes to the details of the public urban areas, in architecture, in commercial messages and in the private room. Details that sometimes remains hidden when we pass them by in everyday life.
By eliminating the unnecessary and focusing on details he gives us the opportunity to explore man's relationship to the design, which in turn is in a contrasting relationship to the organic structures of nature. It is as if we go about trapped in something that we our self have created. An environment intended to give us a feeling of security and welfare becomes a prison. A prison that slowly wears down and crumbles away...
