Signs that Say What You Want Them To Say and Not Signs that Say What Someone Else Wants You To Say

'I Have Been Certified as Mildly Insane!' (1992-3)

This is a photograph from a series of photographs called 'Signs...' The series of photographs shows the responses which Wearing elicited from passers-by, whom she selecte at random, and asked to write their thoughts on a piece of paper.
