Dirt

Exhibition Graphics

This fascinating exhibition of historical artefacts and contemporary film and literature explored the unusual subject of ‘dirt’, our relationship with it in the past, and how we plan to deal with it in the future. The graphic scheme took on the characteristics of dirt; the entire entrance wall was covered with flocking to emulate a splattering of muck, typographic elements throughout the show were formed out of flock Fibers which closely resembled a hoover bag’s contents, and painted aluminium panels were screenprinted with the exhibition texts providing a contrasting feel of cleanliness.
