The Magical
City

2012

Communication campaign for the exhibition "The Magical City" which delves into several urban myths of the interwar years, at a time when the modern city became the focus for all the fantasies and fears of the Western world. It includes over 200 paintings, drawings, collages, photographs and films.
The poster uses a fluo ink and plays with urban signage on a detail of Umbo's photograph "Die Himmelskamera", which compose the exhibition.
