In the contemporary urban landscape designed graphic elements that have been once purposefully placed onto its architecture gradually transform into skeletons of the messages they originally delivered. Their life cycle contributes to the formation of the city’s palette of graphic absence—which is any graphic artifact transformed through the impact of weather, human and non-human interventions. While commonly categorised as decayed and unappealing it provides space for fabulation and an opportunity to detach from a predetermined materialistic viewpoint. Finding beauty and narrative in the torn, scratched and non-being, the project explores how recycled graphic absence can be a tool for actively engagingwith one’s surroundings.
