“In theorising what is possible for the photo poem while teaching at the Photographer’s Gallery, I proposed four possible ways the two mediums can interact. With each other, separately. With text upon image, somehow. With text made of image or language evoked with image, in sequence or otherwise. And finally, a photo of language. How would this last method be more than just documentation? When the photo was necessary, when it was intrinsic?”

This limited edition set of twelve postcards, Obi wrapped as a bundle, presents photographs of language found in the world, and thus, photo poems. It is a sequence that demonstrates that language found on a high street, when divorced from context, can be more poetic than an ode. It suggests that the language people use and misuse when branding their business is often more creative than the best-selling novel. It is twelve simple photos that insist that conceptual poetry can be relatively funny, and oddly personal. BUY FPPP (£4.99 + £1.20 P&P)
