Landscape as Fiction exhibition poster

Published April 29, 2026

This poster was created to promote the exhibition Landscape as Fiction, which presented the outcomes of a semester-long course of the same name at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. I participated in the course during my Erasmus exchange semester, contributing to a collective exploration of how landscapes can be interpreted, constructed, and reimagined as narrative and speculative spaces.

The exhibition showcased a wide range of student works developed throughout the semester, spanning multiple disciplines and formats. The displayed projects included posters, sculptures, installations, animations, and shadow play, reflecting the experimental and interdisciplinary nature of the course. The exhibition took place in Detroit and was open to the public for about one week.

The poster functioned as the main visual identity and advertising medium for the exhibition. It featured the exhibition title as well as the names of all participating students, emphasizing the collective character of the project. To ensure strong visibility across the campus, the poster was produced and displayed in various sizes and formats. It was hung throughout both university campuses and distributed in both physical and digital form.

In addition to printed posters, a digital version was shown on screens in hallways and shared via social media and bulletin boards across the university buildings. A modified version of the poster design was also used as the cover of a supporting exhibition booklet, extending the visual language of the project beyond the exhibition space.

Through its broad distribution and adaptability across media, the poster played a central role in communicating the concept of Landscape as Fiction and unifying the diverse works presented in the exhibition.
