Atopos

Built upon theoretical framework originally introduced by anthropologist Marc Augé in 1995, "Atopos" is a photographic investigation into the physical markers and safe-havens of contemporary society: hospitals, roadways, supermarkets, train stations, banks, hotels, airports, and so on. These spaces, coined "non-places" by Augé, are built for a world obsessed with excess; they are transient in their functions and becoming increasingly homogeneous in their designs. Although these spaces are ordinary and prosaic, found scattered across our landscapes, they act as the foundations and intersecting points of contemporary Western life.
