Signs. The signs are everywhere, literally. Signs are so ubiquitous throughout the urban environment, they become almost invisible. We no longer read them, instead relying on our semiotic understanding to make assumptions about their messaging and instructions. Not only are signs symbolic of the highly controlled nature of our urban environments, they also reveal much about our behaviour, expectations and performance in public spaces. It is upon closer inspection that we can see the fascinating juxtaposition of signage that plays out across the city - arrows in all directions, highly specific information and vaguely insufficient dictums, signs that reveal public contracts and private control, dos and don’ts, stories and statements… Cameron Hunt’s surprising pieces, hidden in plain sight, playfully riff on this reality, combining absurdity and subtlety, leaving us to question our surroundings. 

Installed as temporary signs, the works have the appearance of official signage, utilsing the aesthetic of authority with the language of the absurd. They will be installed on different days, encouraging people to keep their eyes open for new additions.
