Graphic Design

2025

Graphic design for a solo exhibition by visual artist Shun Nakamura. His works give a “black and white photographic” impression by painting real objects in black and white, but then subvert that assumption by confronting viewers directly, creating an intense experience of “physical rawness.” Photographs that appear to be monochrome at first glance are actually color photographs of monochrome-produced dummies, revealing a sense of dissonance. When viewing an image of a monochrome banana, the assumption that the subject is actually yellow means that the brain automatically fills in information based on brightness and form. This ambiguity of perception is also translated into the flyer. Lines are hand-drawn, and the typeface lacks consistency. The layout is a hybrid of Japanese pre-war Western-style books and HTML, making it unclear whether it's archaic or modern. Instead of symbolically placing representative photographic works as is typical for photo exhibitions, we simply placed rectangular shapes the size of 45 large format film. Upon closer inspection, the entire paper is filled with subtle points of peculiarity and dissonance.
