Using New York as an example, the photographic project "EndCommercial" deals with urban space, dissecting it into its semantic components. Picture by picture, photograph by photograph, the inner grammar of the urban context reveals itself. Collected in and on the streets, the principles of order and signs of life of economic biotopes at the bottom end of the economic process are documented: writings on the wall, signs on the street, codes, symbols, fragments, authorship of the anonymous, wear and tear of the public living space and the people who use it. These photographs present a visual vocabulary, an omnipresent iconography that we subliminally process everyday.
