3.1. A Graphic Designer at The End of The World?
↳Exhibited @ DDW 2022
A Research project and Audiovisual piece, and the result of the masters program in Information Design @ The Design Academy Eindhoven.
An inquiry on the importance and place(or lack thereof) of graphic design in the era of the Anthropocene. A study on the images we consume and produce in order to make sense of the current ecological catastrophe in which we have found ourselves in. Can we speculate these feeling away? Perform of ecological angst? Is graphic design worth it on a dying planet?
These questions are the starting point (and end), of a performance in which The Designer tries to talk Themselves out of the guilt and angst of this day and age, questioning their priviledge and place in society, all while a barrage of backdrops depicting ecological disasters fall one after the other in the background.
[a] Comments on Graphic Design and The End of The World, is a written thesis that focuses on the images of the current ecological breakdown we face today.
[b] Selected spreads with illustrations, separating the chapters

3.3. Conversations into the void
An ongoing project centered around interviewing those around me as a way to archive these moments and store them on a “void”. senseless talks without listeners, only an excuse to excersize human connection at a given moment and place. Out of these conversations some printed mateial and Audiovisuals end up as result for maybe no one but participants to care about or witness.
