British artist Richard Wentworth has created a poster for Art On The Underground, Centenary commemorations of the First World War.
His project titled “Look You May Not See”, reversed the text of a postcard written by soldier Herbert Ernest Wilson to his wife Martha Emily Watson on 4 September 1918, taken from the University of Oxford Poetry Archive.
Viewers will have to use a mirror to reveal the intimate message that was exchanged—it serves as an emphasis of the historical distance between the contemporary mass audience and the original individual.
