Concept
Textured and colorful poster on the poetics of memory inspired by this quote:
"For Sottsass, a circle is not made with a compass. If anything it’s a slice of water- melon, with pulp, juice, seeds and colours that blend into each other. A sphere is not a geometric abstraction, it’s an orange or a stone, a concrete object that’s found in nature. This technical approach — that is, discovering the same oneness of matter and color in artificial objects that exists in natural objects — comes from his childhood memories, in the rustic environment of Austrain mountains: Objects are influenced by pink mountains and walm woods, of little wooden rooms with bread bins, the smell of household chores, of stone and earth." — Ettore Sottsass Jr., Sottsass’s Scrap-Book, 1976.
