Peel slowly & see

Thinking more about layers and the possible traces hidden underneath things we see everyday.

Coming across this poster on the platform of a tube station I was reminded of the work of the Italian artist Mimmo Rotella. Rotella creates pieces made up of multiple layers of old posters that have been ripped and peeled away to reveal what is underneath the surface. 

An advertising poster seen on the platform of Oxford street station.
