Secondness / Josef Bares (Installation at Moscow Biennale of Young Art 2010)

Secondness series is based on semiotic theories of the sign. Language is one of the sign systems used to convey meaning. In the same way we read text, we can "read" any other values which we are able to perceive. Urban landscape constitutes a system of signs as well. Streets, house fronts, volumes of individual buildings, etc. Secondness series is continuing the line started with Signifier series. It is based on analysis of the process of meaning creation which is takes place during the perception of urban architecture. How does the resulting sensation come into existence and how do we attach a meaning to it? My goal is to convey a process which often takes place unconsciously but which is crucial in the creation of perceived meaning.
