For decades, they were icons of public space: large, impossible to overlook, and loud. They advertised, sold, and made promises. Today, however, many of them stand empty—weathered and unnoticed.

What was once the embodiment of loudly proclaimed advertising messages now appears silent.

This is characteristic of Lindemann’s photographic approach: he turns his attention to what is often overlooked, yet has so much to reveal. An empty billboard is not merely a blank surface—it tells a story of change. In a world saturated with messages, emptiness itself becomes almost an act of subversion.

The series BILLBOARDS is a photographic search for traces—for the function, history, and future of a medium that once wanted everything:

to sell,
to seduce,
to make everything available.

And today, it remains silent.
