"Empire Sign" and Mitre Bar sign, Tontine Lane
Artwork by Douglas Gordon, 1997.
Information from the booklet entitled 'The Merchant City Public Art Trail':
"The sign is a mirror image of one briefly seen in Hitchcock's film 'Vertigo', so here we have something returned to the real world from the fictional. Says Gordon: 'I liked the fact that I could make an artwork that would not look like an artwork, I could make an object which was a copy of something that doesn't actually exist except in fiction, and the only way you can read it properly is to look in a mirror which is a place that does not really exist either'.
The word Empire is a loaded one here, the source of so much of the wealth that the Merchant City was built on, but also a common name for cinemas and theatres.
This work was originally sited in Brunswick Lane, opposite The Mitre Bar, a favourite with artists. When the Empire sign had to be moved because of development in that area, the sign from the defunct Mitre Bar came with it, to keep a sense of the original juxtaposition."
The signs are illuminated every evening.
