When I first encountered these signs, they struck me as mysterious like archaeological fragments. Observing the lines suggested fractured relationships between people, with animals and the neighbourhood. The orientation of the line often overlays or splits the local spaces and icons like energy transmissions, migrations, flowing veins, unravelling threads. It seemed that while moving towards closer involvement with the world the people are widening the gap with what is physically close to them. These new images of hotel signage in Lanzarotecreate were perhaps caused by sun damage or earthquakes. Environmental impact has fissured ambiguities and readings which are far removed from the original intention. Clear factual instructions are now complicated images with complex messages that are emotionally charged.
