The commercialisation of public spaces

Exploring the ubiquitous presence of billboards promoting advertising space across multiple countries around the world. The project takes a critical and ironic approach to this commercial phenomenon, examining how the advertising industry has shaped and infiltrated our society.

Despite the absence of any explicit critique, the photographs raise questions about the role of advertising in contemporary society. Through their repetitive and constant presence, the billboards become a commentary on the commercialisation of public spaces and the ways in which we are bombarded by images that shape our desires and identities.
