Vorsicht Stufe, 2006
Ready-made signs affixed to staircase
Installation on existing stairs
Several identical brass signs saying "Mind the step" are installed on each step of a staircase. A danger of stumbling may be generated by wanting to read the signs, thwarting the advice to use caution. It is also the repetition that empties the signs of their usefulness as warning.
