Photo-project: Attention Please

Attention Please logo 'Attention Please' is a photo-project to explore the way in which public space is polluted by a host of needless warning signs - slash tape over a crack in the pavement, or a puddle marked off with police cones. This project questions what such useless bureaucratic signage means for the look and feel of urban life - and calls for a more rational approach to public space.

A PHOTO-ESSAY, by designer Tom Mower, shows up the visual language of safety signage: Attention Please: A walk interrupted by safety signage

CALL FOR PHOTOS! Send in photos of needless safety signs you encounter in public spaces, for publication in an online photo-album. See week 1 of the photo album; or see how to submit your photos.

'Enlightenment is humanity's emergence from self-imposed immaturity. Dare to know! Have courage to use your own understanding!'

Immanuel Kant

'What characterises man is his extreme abundance of imagination; therefore, that man is a fantastic animal and that universal history is the gigantic, continuous and insistent effort to go, little by little, putting some order into the crazy fantasy.'

José Ortega y Gasset
