ACHTUNG!

It could be about anything really. I like the quick ambivalence of the blue painters tape. Did the danger change and we needn’t be warned any longer? Or is it a quick joke, the sly absurdity of an empty and undefined warning sign sending someone cackling all the way out of the station and into the IFC theatre above.

Blue tape bandit….

There was something under the tape, Bandit.

And I could have looked but I didn’t. Out of respect for your vision! I don’t want to know. It’s now something of a subway Rorschach test asking “what is it that John Does eyes jump to after that ambiguous warning?”

WARNING

“Did you leave the stove on?”

WARNING

“Everyone is talking: they’ve discussed it and decided they know you better than you know yourself. They’ve also decided to remove you from the board of directors.”

WARNING

“Polka dots and pinstripes are looking really good on you today, be careful not to break any hearts Gary. This was a good decision. A good decision. Trust me.”

WARNING

“BEHIND YOU!!”

WARNING

“You are not meant to be here and soon they will find out.”

Achtung, blue tape bandit round the corner has something to say.
