The series Misplacements questions how we as humans interact with natural environment in a sense of placing isolated man-made objects of different forms and functions to a particular landscape in a way that its transformation is not very obvious neither visually destructive. The purpose and meaning of these object is not even clear to a viewer or people who accidently pass by. Moreover, functions of the most photographed objects in this series were already lost and for few it seems this will happen in a near future. With loosing the physical context former placements become misplacements
