In my short project, I looked at the Dessau Nord district and specifically analysed the car stickers on the vehicles parked there. Car stickers are fascinating little windows into people's world views and personalities, without them always realising it.
One striking example is the sticker ‘Fuck you, Greta!’ on the bumper of a new SUV. This sticker reveals clear attitudes towards climate change and shows a clear attitude towards young activists who are committed to their future. Another example is the Sylt sticker on an old, well-maintained, beige Golf 4, which indicates that the owner probably visits the island of Sylt regularly.
By specifically looking at the various car stickers, I have carried out a humorous social analysis of the neighbourhood. These small, often unnoticed details of everyday life tell fascinating stories about the residents and provide unique insights into their social and cultural attitudes.
