| | Description: | The Liverpool Billboard Project,
organised by Liverpool-based artists
Godfrey Burke and Alan Dunn, invited
Peter Zimmerman to respond to a
specific billboard site on Hanover Street
in Liverpool city centre. The location is
heavily commercial, where billboards are
at ground level and play a major part in
street life.
Zimmerman uses the existing language
of such billboards, rewriting the format to
reflect what is actually taking place
between a commercial hoarding and a
passing public. Employing image,
language and typography, he breaks
down and then re-emits the various
messages and signals of outdoor
advertising. The artist thus juggles with
the various components, normally
perceived as a single unit, in a very
public setting.
