Michael Pinsky Lost O

There is huge amount of redundancy in the contemporary world of signs and symbols. When a company collapses or changes name, what happens to its logo? When signs are removed or updated in our streetscape where do these unwanted items that shape our visual world reside? As a memorial to Ashford’s lost ring road a location would be found to create a cluster of signs recovered from the Shared Space scheme. As the project progressively thins out the signage, street and traffic lights around Ashford, they will find a new home as a sculptural form. The sculpture will not be defined through construction, but through displacement.
