Keep Clear: Scenes of Injury and Death in International Safety Signage

A Gashlycrumb Tinies of industrial safety signage, Keep Clear collects forty doomed pictograms from work sites, public infrastructure and signage catalogs across the world. These anonymous, featureless figures are threatened by boats, cars, cranes, trains, robots, flying machine parts, falling icicles, quicksand, boulders, electric arcs, poisonous gas, garage doors, augers, grain hoppers, and even other pictograms. Includes a short essay on international standards, slapstick, and the tiny dramas playing out in all pictogrammic signage.
