absolute words

posters for the exhibition of student works at düsseldorf university of applied sciences, 2012

do you have to explain everything in art, architecture or design? yes, you do. these five concepts are a reality check for anyone who thinks that these specialist fields are a warm, cosy, touchy-feely business. the poster series answers them back: three of the words here stand for what’s needed in order to achieve something good in architecture or design – perfection, order, discipline. because no explanation is given, the words are a provocation. a positive provocation, though, saying: please think for yourself!
