Street Signs book
Street Signs

By Peter Downsbrough
Clonmel, Tipperary, Ireland: Coracle Press, 2019. Edition unstated.

72 pages; 160 mm x 240 mm (6.3 x 9.4"). Softcover. Casebound with flaps. Offset printed.

Photographs of street and pavement covers taken in various countries around the world in 2011. Each photograph with location and date documented.

The overriding arch of Downbrough's work is examining the meaning of space and place (see Art Dictionary article accessed 8.19.19 https://www.hatjecantz.de/peter-downsbrough-5626-1.html).

Peter Downsbrough: “With the word, one takes part in a dialogue, a discourse on its precise meaning. … The word for me is an object. It has both a precise and a vague meaning. It is a universe one is confronted with. But there is no obligatory way of reading.”
