This photo series captures moments of periphery in Croatian Istria with 26 bus stops. Documentary and conceptual, the photographic cartography approaches the different perceptions of the places. Ed Ruscha's methodology, and in particular his photographic series Twentysix Gasoline Stations, serve as a method and inspiration to examine the stops and their identity in the urban fabric. With this photographic concept as well as the texts, the observations are presented analytically and at the same time unfold a greater poetic meaning. How does it feel to live in the environs of urban reality? The book transmits the fascination for simple building methods, locations as well as the aesthetics of decay.
