Striking Photos of Life Without Text

Share:

The urban landscape is full of words: Brands, product names, store signs, street directions and direction to stores full of brand name products… Enough! American photographer Matt Siber has Photoshopped it all away in his project Untitled . He captured North American, European, and Chinese cities and manipulated the images, erasing all printed words. What’s left? Blank billboards. Empty space. Mysterious signs. Ad models without a motive. A big, bright void. Exploring the role texts play in the modern environment, the project also points to its “alternative forms of communication” — nameless but recognizable symbols, logos and colors schemes. Check out the wordless Untitled photos alongside the digitally removed text in our gallery.
