The series explores the semiotics of images: what are the consequences when we produce images using mechanisms of language. The image resists signs, but from the sixties, the semiotic research efforts were directed towards discovering discrete significative units, thus understand images in terms of text. The tension in the overlapping area between two incompatible semiotic systems (images and words) gives rise to possible new imagery.
The work involves a linguistic-visual play: a visual syntagm is created with thee paradigmatic fields. The three paradigmatic fields uniting set of images objects under following classes: "background", "architecture", "things". The members of each class (paradigm) are given in a shared dictionary. The rules of play are: we choose one or more member(s) from each class and include it in the visual syntagm. Second part of the game involves addition of new words (members of a class) to an existing paradigmatic field.
