Swiss smoking sign.


This image confuses me. Mixed with a visual graphic, and the type being in a different language I do not know if there is a connection between the both. Seeing this image at first glance without the translation of the Swiss word I combine the both and come to conclusion that it means no smoking. I find the collision of type and images interesting, they may or may not have the same subject matter, or the artist may or may not have intended that they were to be interpreted together. The way the image is taken, it suggests that they have a similar commonality but they might not.
