CONCEPT:
This exhibition was created for the Anderson Gallery at Virginia Commonwealth University. It was designed to create an immersive typographic and visual environment in order to remind viewers/consumers of the gap between production and consumption, and to shed light on the lives of factory workers in China who have often been ignored and misrepresented. The idea was to imitate and reconstruct a visual landscape that is (un)consciously anti-designed.
