During the long, strange and cold winter of 2020-21, the "battlegroup for art" (a collective of Innsbruck-based cultural institutions) asked me to design a poster that would, on the one hand, draw attention to the situation of artists and cultural workers during the pandemic, and, on the other, make people fancy for the reopening of culture (for which we all had to wait longer than anyone expected). For this project and its special context a very detailed illustration seemed appropriate, as, during the lockdown, an unusual large amount of people went strolling in the streets and parks with unusually lots of time and hardly any other distractions – with shops and cafes and theaters being closed many people welcomed the poster that spoke to their own experiences and emotions during the pandemic. Hence many got their own copy, which was offered by the contributing institutions.
“Finally again … culture!”, A0, 1000 copies, ink on paper, digitally coloured.
