Word and Image

Barbara Kruger-Depression

We had to design a number of posters using words and images based on Barbara Kruger’s style of work for photography, the theme I used for this poster was depression. The photograph itself is of a stranger “who I very nicely pulled to the side” and asked him to pretend to hold up a make-believe sign then afterwards I edited the photograph in Photoshop and placed the boxes and text in Illustrator.

Mirror and Mediator of Radicalisation

The Urban Environment: Mirror and Mediator of Radicalisation

The research project pursued the question how polarisation becomes materially imprinted in a city and how material aspects of a city might actually influence (accentuate or alleviate) polarisation processes. It compares the situation in four cities and speculates about ways in which architecture and urban design might contribute to reconciliation processes by tackling some of the spatial and material conditions of stereotypisation, mutual fear, lack of spaces for friendly encounters etc.
