International Typography Biennale Typojanchi 2017
The Universal Kimono
For the Korean Typojanchi 2017 Biennial we created a kimono made of the three flags originally created for the Typojanchi exhibition. The kimono displays the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948). Almost seventy years ago, the alliance was constructed by the United Nations General Assembly, a crucial treaty, born from the experiences of the two World Wars. The "kimono", which actually means a "thing to wear" (ki "wear" and mono "thing”) is used here to embody and adopt the Four Freedoms—freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from fear, and freedom from want.
The Universal Kimono and a selection of the photographs are on show at ‘Post-medium’, a group exhibition at the Graphic Design Biennial in Chaumont, FR (23.05 — 22.09.2019).
