“PROJECTION GAME”#6 / IS IT LIKE IF WE FLY AT 10,000 METERS IN HEIGHT ABOVE A CITY?

“PROJECTION GAME”#4 / A GREAT EXPLOSION OF LIGHT AND MATTER: THE PRIMAL CHAOS?

CITIES,WALLS AND SIGNS: STREET MACRO PHOTOS #4

Someone wrote that my “Lacer/actions” artworks – macro photos of torn posters and urban materials – are a sort of evolutional forms by which some unidentified and indefinite entities try to communicate with us… At first I smiled hearing  this comment.
