People may be interested in a series by photographer Cedric Delsaux , which features Star Wars characters in urban settings. I was reminded of this when we discussed Star Wars in class the other night. Though it's not by any means a new idea, I find the juxtaposition of pop culture and art to be extremely interesting. Plus, who's not a fan of Star Wars? That image of the red guards is my favorite: the red is beautiful and it just pops out of the sterile grey environment.
I'm not sure if this would be considered a heterotopia or not. In a way, it breaks down the typical heirarchy of space by placing fictional characters from the future (actually a long time ago in a galaxy far away, but whats the difference) in contemporary settings. Is it a heterotopia though?

The whole star wars and fan culture that has sprouted through mass media could be considered a heterotopia I think, they are particular enough. These photos however represent a utopia simply because it doesn't exsist
