Symbol Soup examines the symbols that have nourished the Visual Generation, Generation X (born 1963-1973) and Generation Next (borne 1974-1984). By reproducing images that speak to the Visual Generation, the nine volumes capture the immense creativity of a generation that relies on visual communication to express its attitudes and aspirations and to define its identity.
Symbol Soup is the ultimate showcase of the highly symbolic landscape of today's media, popular culture, subcultures, fashion and worldwide brands. It examines the relationship between symbols created in the global commercial environment and those formed in subcultures throughout the world.
Besides showing thousands of symbols and the way they have become an integral part of the Visual Generation's lifestyle, it explains the seductive appeal of these images and discusses the way the symbols are designed, created, recycled and reconstructed.
