Exhibition : [shift]

As part of the [shift] project I produced a fly poster which was disseminated around Leeds. I had no control over where or how the poster was displayed.

TITLE
Joe Always Lives on the Edge of The Green Zone

SUMMARY OF PROJECT
Delineated borders, fare boundaries, day passes and colour coding; the city built in our consciousness from bus maps and residential districts.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
When we first arrive in a city we have to learn it, to break it down and experience it. My poster plays with notions of identity within the city and the way in which we associate ourselves geographically according to where we live, work and play and how these are determined and manipulated by authorities and private companies.
Leeds is dominated by its student population and the Green Zone encircles the Headingley area, marking out an unseen line, beyond which…maybe a different life is being lived.
