Fade Away

Photography of street signs by Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek.

A man wearing a hat hurries across a zebra crossing; a girl with braids 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. 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. Photographer Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek has tracked down these anachronistic remains in Ibiza. With her camera, she releases the obsolete signs on the island 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, Fade Away, is a poetic photo publication as a reminiscence of the past.
