DYNAMIC/다이내믹 (2023)
TYPOGRAPHY, RISOGRAPH PRINT, COLLAGE
EXHIBITED AT OCADXHONGIK AT HONGIK UNIVERSITY
DESIGNERS: KIRTHIGA THEVAKUMAR AND SEOHYUN MOON
Dynamic/다이내믹 is a collaborative piece created for the ocadxhongik exhibition in Seoul, South Korea. This exhibition was part of an exchange trip from Toronto to Seoul in October 2023. The exhibition focused on collaborating with a student from Hongik University and choosing a word that describes Seoul. The word chosen here is dynamic, as the streets of Seoul are vibrant and full of life, featuring vendors, signage, street performances, and crowds of people. The piece was created by Seohyun, who photographed Korean letters around Seoul and collaged them into the Korean word, and Kirthiga, who photographed english words and collaged them into Korean letters.
