Project context & references

An experimental image festival

A print error becomes the visual memory of an experimental image festival.

The image can drift; the programme cannot.

Setting
A working risograph press, a concrete venue, and the city after the final screening.
Value
Physical imperfection with informational discipline.
Design approach
A landscape projection leads a narrow press-room record. Subsequent plates share one edge.
