The work of Gregor Graf seems very quiet to me. Not quiet like it doesn’t say anything, but quiet like a bear just standing there staring at you. He might not be saying much out loud but his silence is pregnant with meaning. Nowhere is this more apparent than in his Hidden Town series wherein the ads and brands are removed from photos of buildings to reveal the stoic giants underneath. It’s creepy to think that a world without ads is that startling because of how saturated our everyday lives are with messages selling us things. I could definitely get used to it.
