79A (Unknown, 2014)




'79A'

Unknown, 2014. Fore Street.


Oscar Wilde famously said that 'life imitates art'. Here we see an example of a philosophic artwork which really pushes the boundaries between art and life; was this flat number 79A before the lettering was added, or only after? 

This piece causes the viewer to ponder the meanings of existential questions. Is it art? Is it vandalism? Or is it simply a functional way for the postman to find the right house? Perhaps we'll never know.
