I've been working a project for school that has something to do with postmodern life so I've been looking at artists that work with those themes.

The artist went through his photographs from the project looking in the individual windows and enlarged some of the sections.

I like the surveillance, anonymity, and rigid structure of these pictures.

I am fascinated by the titles of these works. They remind me of Barara Kruger's work but I prefer the text in the title as opposed to being on the picture. These works not only use the visual language of advertising but the titles are like slogans as well. It's like someone broke up your daily routine with a piercing truism. Some of these are realy devastating.
