Prototype II
2005
C-Print
28 x 40"


'Prototype II' was made by scanning an original photograph of night-time traffic on the outskirts of a city and, in Photoshop, superimposing the text 'Open 24 Hours'.
This design was then printed as a one-off large format poster which was folded and 'distressed', before being re-photographed using an 8x10" camera. The resulting print is 1:1 scale with the poster and includes in great detail, its stains, discoloration, and grid of frayed lines from where it was folded.
