About the Item
A 19th-century red fire call box is smothered in street advertisements and graffiti. It dominates the left half of the composition. Behind i, a street-level facade is equally smeared with post-bills and graffiti. A single figure lies horizontally on a cardboard matt. There is some connection between an image of Jesus on the call box and the prostrate figure.
This image is signed, dated and numbered 2/15 lower right recto. Other sizes are available. The work is unframed and printed later. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper Can a street photograph be a grab shot and precisely designed at the same time? Mitchell Funk says yes.
