About Darkness and Light Poster
Däischtert an Liicht ass e Poster, deen fir eng Ausstellung iwwer japanesch klassesch Literatur entworf gouf. De Poster kombinéiert Lackkonscht a Ueleggemoolerei, Natur a Mënschheet, klassesch a modern Stiler. D'Typografie verbënnt d'Wierker vun zwee Kënschtler mat klassesche Texter, déi vum Fuerschungsinstitut opbewahrt ginn. De gedréckte Bou moosst 515 op 728 Millimeter a gëtt duerch UV-Offsetdrock mat pflanzlecher Tënt op Pabeier, deen vum Forest Stewardship Council zertifizéiert ass, produzéiert. D'Design weist, wéi klassesch Kultur a Bicher d'kënschtleresch Ausdrocksform haut prägen.
