Fire Of Each Other
Fire of Each Other is an artist book of Robert Montgomery, a Scottish artist who work anonymously with poetic words and melancholic Post-Situationist tradition. He hijacks advertising billboards and putting up his poems in order to provide a reflective space in which a public so used to being psychologically bludgeoned into a consumerist daze can find some respite from the relentless static of the modern world.
His is super-interested in reaching ordinary people as his main audience. His poems are all about the city and its relationship with the people, including politics, consumerisms, and anti-advertising, thus a newspaper format. The idea is to showcase both considered and rough manner of his working process, as well as his act of being anonymous.
