Black vinyl lettering in shop window
Dimensions unknown
July 2005
Soho Original Books, Charing Cross Road, London UK
A new erotic art gallery opened above the licensed sex shop Soho Original Books in London’s Charing Cross Road. The artist created a simple text-based scheme for the first floor window.
Vinyl lettering broadcasts the invitation, 'Touch Me Inappropriately', identifying and encouraging the taboo of illicit sexual contact in a public place.
The work was also intended to have the quality of a plea (perhaps from someone kidnapped and held hostage above the shop if your imagination is particularly fertile) asking, ‘Relieve me from my isolation, locked away high above the Charing Cross Road.’
