Over Dieren
Pitch for the theatre group Het Nationale Toneel for the play Over Dieren, written by Elfriede Jelinek. Deadline April first.
'A woman alone. She's having an imaginary conversation with a lover: will she give herself to him or not? When she loses herself in him, will she still exist? Is love to disappear in the other and to not exist anymore? The woman hesitates. She cannot decide between surrender and self-preservation.
Then follows a telephone conversation: a men negotiates about a woman. The woman in the magazine are objects, products, animals. The escort service on the other line delivers everything, except love.'
For this poster I photographed a place where prostitutes used to work. Now these houses are empty and forgotten, only the memories remain. The typography is designed in the viewpoint of the photo. By using the lines of the photograph there arises a extra layer between the typography and the photo.
