For the past six years, London-based artist/poet Robert Montgomery has carried out a project that he calls WORDS IN THE CITY AT NIGHT , where he hijacks commercial and public advertising space in cities, often unlawfully. He covers illuminated ad space with black posters with white lettering, which takes on the color scheme of the advertising beneath. Montgomery’s texts are poetic explorations of the collective unconscious.

He also creates self-illuminating word sculptures that utilize solar cells to bank sunlight to make the lettering shine at night.
