In 2008 I began working on the long term project entitled „Theater of life". Themes are the changes occurring in our society under the influence of culture and technology, which are increasingly present in our everyday lives.
Historically, Plato developed the notion of Theatrum Mundi - Theatre of the World. Place where a man is only a puppet, an actor whose role is to play its normal role on stage of life. Planned by the powerful being known as the creator (Demiurg, God). At present, the place of this being has been taken by mass media. Mass media, with which we have to deal every day. They have increasingly greater impact on us, our life and behavior. People under the influence of mass culture that comes straight from the television or the Internet, get lost in the border of two worlds: the real world in which they live and the world created by the media.
Topics touched upon in this essay, I think can best be seen in most developed countries. Places where people use more and more technology, areas in which technology, the media have the greatest impact on people. Therefore, a further stage of the project is to travel to places like Tokyo (Japan), New York (USA), Las Vegas (USA), Hong Kong and Sydney (Australia). As well as to further develop this theme in my home country and the countries adjacent to it.
The project is still ongoing and i will use the FotoVisura grant to continune my work on Theater of Life. Recently I finished the first part of my work. The entire project will consist of four parts, each with 25 photos. I estimate that it will take me 3 to 4 years.
