He is every council's worst nightmare but artist Clet Abraham has a serious message to get across. Forget Banksy. This classically trained artist, who now lives in Florence, has been sneaking around cities across Europe in the middle of the night and strategically placing stickers on street signs to alter their meanings.
And while passers-by may crack a smile when they see the humorous signage, Abraham hopes people will think twice next time they are asked to follow an instruction.
Abraham's thought-provoking works of guerrilla art hope to challenge the way society restricts itself with rules and regulations. He believes signs are stopping individual expression and thought and many of his pieces of work make reference to religion.
