Beauty
and
beastliness

Feature : From eyesore to eye candy, visual
clutter and bombardment are part of
the everyday life for the city dweller
and do not normally warrant comment
or attention or even any kind of opinion.
There is advertising, signage,
graffiti, fashion and a seemingly
random mix of architecture. You like
it or you lump it or you move out of
the city. KS has taken the time to
scrutinise this cluttered, unregarded
backdrop to our lives. Where once
we saw chaos, we now see instances
of real fine art, guerrilla outbreaks of
self-expression and iconography that
may be mere pollution or an insidious
assault on freedom of choice.
