Pavement Propoganda


Its amazing the amount of pavement propaganda you encounter during a routine morning cycle through the city. Everything is trying to capture your attention, with the hope of eventually enslaving it.

The propaganda normally comes in the form of a partial truth: a fact, a date, an action. Juxtaposing this partial truth next to a whole truth (like a bicycle) has the uncanny habit of subverting what is being presented, on occasion actually inverting what is being said, to the point where we see the spurious nature of the propaganda.

The conclusion here is rather simple: put a bicycle next to anything and you already improve the picture.
