Olic is well-traveled, and as part of his works includes exact coordinates for each photograph, along with a small write up and description. Olic may do this to send his enthusiasts on a scavenger hunt to re-create his images, however it may be a subtle reminder that these photos are taken in a location which is part of many people’s everyday lives. They are part of the fabric of the cities we visit and the cities we may call home. It is a reminder that although it may seem he is bending the laws of dimensions, beauty is accessible to all of us, all around us.
