Revealing the Colors of Urban Graphic Decay

Wandering the streets with her camera Jitka Kopejtkova captures the graphic decay of Prague’s event, product and political posters. The fragmented and juxtaposed images in her work reveal not only unexpected color combinations but the age rings of visual communication and the consumer market itself. The indiscriminate combinations of color, shape and form raise curiosities of each individual designer’s original intent, and the event(s) which lead to the current state of these ever-evolving public canvases.
