Wooden Signs
This picture was taken in the Distillery District located in Down Town Toronto. Not only does this image relate to visual culture in our society but it also makes a connection to the various topics discussed in recent Modules.
The first image establishes a clear image on propaganda. It relates to the usual sign of a store that claims "Come in, We're Open" but instead states that the store is closed. This can confuse the viewer, as they are unsure if it is actually closed, or if the place they wish to enter is actually open.
In the second sign, it associates the text to the idea of public sphere, as examined in module 7. It provides a drastic solution to a problem that we are all faced with. In our world today, the quality of our environment has become a major dilemma and creates many controversies that have yet to be solved. It also shows how greenwashing is essential because we are the ones who are destroying our planet.
This relates to the visual culture in our society because it allows room for interpretation and also provides connections to the issues that we face in our world today.
