The Idea

Urban Fossils art project by Yohannes Artinyan

The project is a photographic portrait of two fossilized building complexes, realized in the summer of 2010.

I. Perperikon. A famous ancient sanctuary and oracle shrine dedicated to Dionysus, a sanctuary of the Thracians from the transition between the Stone and Bronze Age. Located in the Eastern Rhodopes, Bulgaria.

II. A never finished medical complex in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. A sanctuary of graffiti artists from the transition period between Communism and Democracy.

Places which history is full of sweat, blood and semen, literally and figuratively. A huge contrast in scale and importance, and at the same time a cynical similarity of the passions.

Photography / Web design and programming

The shooting is made with Nikon D60 camera with various lens. All images are digitally manipulated with custom made cross-processing filter.

Design and programming:

The graphic design is based on non uniform grid for thumbnails and multi-column text layout.

The navigation is alternative and is possible in three ways:

I. drop and drag with the mouse or touch for touch screen devices.

II. by using the keyboard arrows.

III. by context menu on right click.

Custom programming modules in the project: text engine, dynamic random non uniform grid, custom Pixel Bender filters, transition engine, custom Photoshop filters, etc.
