Fugazzi PDF Print
06 Jun 2009 By Almir Mustafic, Berlin

The underlining theme of  this series of illustrative works is the omnipresence and speed of the mass media in the 21st century. Straight, mostly black lines dominate the illustrations - hinting at wireframe aesthetics of computer-aided designs. The colour red, the only colour used next to black and white, symbolizes the emotionality of the human spirit. Humans are drawn to resemble robots - machines that follow instructions without consent - but surrounded and driven by emotions and cultural beliefs.

In the particular context of Fugazzi - meaning fake or superficial - the short lifespan of today's media imagery is emphasized. Through extracting the essence of newspaper photographs a different social and aesthetical context is created, which enables them to live a longer life and become icons of the fading headlines they represent.
