Uroš Weinberger: Seven Sisters

Seven Sisters is a synonym for seven biggest and most influential oil companies in the world. The project focuses on the problematic of oil industry and the impact of corporate industrial giants on global politics, economy and ecology. Weinberger also explores the impact of visual messages in mass media on the contemporary, typically undemanding and uninterested observer, and investigates the possibility of manipulation by means of images on advertisement billboards.
