Every day, walking down the street, we hear a variety of sounds - echoes of someone's conversations, shouts, whispers, sounds of music, signals, and we also see various inscriptions - store signs, advertising posters, inscriptions on clothes. And all this "verbal and visual noise" that surrounds us and settles somewhere in our subconscious, Brooklyn photographer Ebon Heath tries to present in the form of beautiful verbal sculptures.
Ebon Heath is one of the most promising contemporary artists. Investigating the connection between language and technology, Brooklyn artist and graphic designer Ebon Heath has created a series of works called "Stereo. Type", which can be called a kind of typographic ballet, where letters, words and phrases circle in a beautiful dance, dance in circles, visually demonstrating all the beauty speech.
With his work, the sculptor tries to visually represent the invisible, to shape the sound of everyday life around us, to bring fantasy into reality. Its structures are the physical representation of our language as an object. For several years, Ebon Heath has been working to create a system that represents the relationship between traditional typography language and physical body language. Initially starting as a scientific research, his work has become an amazing art project.
Words have never looked so amazing, they form their own structure, they dance and move, and yet they are frozen. In the Ebon Heath universe, words emerge from their usual environment, they come to life and tell us their amazing life stories.
