About Lockdown Memories Cyfres Posteri

Yn ystod y pandemig, roedd pobl yn darllen llawer gartref. Tra roedd gwyddonwyr ac artistiaid yn gweithio i newid y ffordd roedd pobl yn meddwl am y dyfodol. Ysbrydolwyd cyfres o bum poster Timea Andorka gan y syniadau a'r darganfyddiadau hyn. Mae pob poster yn seiliedig ar ddarn unigryw wedi'i oleuo'n arbennig o'i chelf lyfr sy'n cyfeirio at y syniadau hyn. Maent yn gyflawn gyda dyfyniadau byr ar newid hinsawdd, mudiad BLM, darganfod Mawrth, argyfwng y coronafeirws a dyfodol dynoliaeth. Yn y posteri, mae llyfrau wedi'u hailgylchu yn symboleiddo gwybodaeth glasurol a'r angen i ailddehongli gwybodaeth sydd wedi dyddio.

Unique Properties: In 2020, people spent a lot of time at home with their books and had time to think about them. While everyone was watching the tragic events of the pandemic from home, scientists, writers and artists were working to change the way humanity thinks about the world and the common future. This shocking year has been not just about the pandemic, but about a rediscovery of human thinking. This series of posters celebrates these extraordinary ideas and scientific milestones.
Dimensions & Packaging: poster size: 70×100 cm
Tags: poster, series, book, crafts, bookobject, knowledge, lockdown, BLM, climatechange, Mars
Production Technology: book-objects
Design Challenge: The reinterpretation of books as objects in a series of posters was chosen because books represented a visual link between scientific thought and the need to stay at home. The visual challenge was to find a unique technique for transforming the pages, which contain important texts, into objects that refer to what is written in them.
Research: The posters are based on specially illuminated book-objects. The treatment of each book reflects a particular scientific discovery or artistic statement published in a specific month of the year 2020. During the photo shoot, the specific theme was further emphasised by using light and creating context. But in homage to the authors, their statements, in the form of quotes, appear in the right-hand corner of the posters.
Inspiration: The posters are linked to five ideas that have defined our century. In small print, they feature quotes on climate change, the BLM movement, the discovery of Mars, the corona virus crisis and the future of humanity.
Project Duration: The posters were made at Budapest, Hungary, 2021. The series was exhibited at co|show poster biennial 2021. (Colorado Mesa University, Western Colorado Center for the Arts, Grand Junction, USA)
Operation Flow: The used books were first turned into a unique object. But to look good on a poster, they needed special lighting. These two factors combine to create the visual unity of the posters and highlight the message.
