Envisioning Through Semiotics

I was taking a walk in the gardens of the Sch?nbrunn Palace in Vienna to reflect on signs and symbols, and to interpret the thoughts conveyed by the sculptures of the time. This excursion led to an unexpected sight, however, which had its own teachings to offer.
I happened to look up and observed a rather strange sign in the sky. It was the vapour trail of a plane – which had become a rare sight, due to Covid-19 and the restrictions on flights.
That vapour trail reminded me of a flight I had taken to Casablanca in Morocco, shortly before teh outbreak of the pandemic, during which I practiced my skills in auditing the culture and observing semiotics.

3 年Thank you for this article. As always, I could easily see you ?? and I see it was a busy flight for you practising the skills and fundamentals of focusing on culture, semiotics and the social dynamics of people in a confined area. However I am sure it was not exhausting for you at all as you are doing it with passion????♀?
