No matter who you are, where you live or what you do, some visual symbols are instantly recognisable.
If for instance, we showed you a dark human silhouette clutching a white boxy instrument on a bright colour background - it wouldn’t matter if you were an Aussie or an Inuit - you’d probably recognise an iPod advert. How about if we held up a picture of a clean-shaven, smiling, greying Texan, in a wrinkle-free suit? Even if you didn’t know his name, chances are you’d pinpoint the American President.
As part of her foyer project, iBush Posters, Liz Rossof takes one of the world’s most visually successful marketing campaigns and injects one of her country’s most identified human icons. Each hyper-colour poster casts Bush next to a verbal remark made by a selection of 3000 Americans when they were shown a picture of George Bush Jr.
Bright, bold, but not necessarily beautiful, iBush Posters is a visually iStimulating snapshot of a nation.
