Pictures from http://notifbutwhen.com/projects/copia/dark-stores/#i37
The artist that I chose for this week's post is Brian Ulrich. These pictures are from his series known as "Dark Stores." I chose these images because they are great representations of the feelings that were present during the economic downturn in 2008. The pictures carry out this action because they both seem dark and gloomy due to the night sky that was present when the photographs were made. Although melancholy is rampant throughout the images, the attributes of hope and a bright future are present. The lights coming from the street lamp and marquee in the first picture shine brightly through the dim night, illuminating the words "capitalism" and stating that a bright future will soon be near. The lights shining on the abandoned store and the light blue car in the second picture also state that the future will be promising.
