Reading the Streets: Fading City Typography

0 - Default Title
Description
A personal take on street typography in various European cities ; including in former Soviet countries and in southern Europe ; with photos of letters that epitomise a city's atmosphere. In the past ; Stan Van Steendam's obsession for street photography already prompted him to create the magnificent ; acclaimed book ; Brussels Type. Now comes the sequel ; Reading the Streets ; in which Van Steemdam travels abroad with the same mission. He likes to intuitively explore cities ; using the typography on the city's streets as his guide - signs with letters that tell a story about the chequered history of these cities. He photographs the typographic fragments he discovers ; isolating them from their context. The outcome is a series of personal photos ; taken with old ; analog cameras that succeed in representing the transitory nature of the city in a heartfelt and provocative manner. Stan Van Steendam (1985) studied graphic design at Sint-Lucas in Ghent. He is passionate about typography and works for various publishers in Belgium and abroad ; as well as being a photographer and a visual artist.
