On The Wall (2)

July 16, 2014

Fly posters can be found in cities all over the world. Some regard them as a scourge on the urban environment. I’ve always been captivated by them. Once a poster is applied to a wall it can take on a new personality through attempts to remove it. The weather can also change a poster’s character. During their short life these posters provide an intriguing urban footprint of contemporary life.

    You’re right – you just have to allow yourself to be captivated, and I was!
