THE ARCHIVE / Themes

Neon Signs.

A sign photographed by day reveals things that its night-time glow can conceal: brackets, tubing, paint and the structure holding the letters in the air. Read these objects as drawings assembled in three dimensions. Which words dominate from a distance? Which details reward someone who has already stopped? This theme follows records explicitly associated with neon in the source metadata; the presence of a sign does not by itself establish its lighting technology.
