Bent, faded and rusted, there are signs on the roadside that have lost their connection to reality in writing and associative images – as if they had been forgotten in the landscape. Photographer Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek has tracked down these out-of-time remnants in Ibiza and shows them in her new, poetic photo book as a reminiscence of the past. Why photograph such signs? Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek redeems Ibiza’s outdated signs from their banality with her camera. The ordinary, the overlooked, the neglected appear in surprising, previously unnoticed variations. The signs suddenly unfold a narrative. Capturing them in photography makes them a metaphor for the passage of time, a mirror of transience. It is the essence of photography that it captures things in the moment, in the process of their disappearance.
