My Graduation Project: VERWOORD
Judaism, Christianity and Islam, as distinct religions of the Word, through their common roots in the Old Testament, have an extremely problematical relationship with every kind of image culture. In spite of this ban, the image is ubiquitous and as a medium could not possibly banned from our society. In contrast, the word (typography) has had to live in the shadow of te image for too long.
"verwoord" is a graphical reflection of the competitive struggle between word and image through the image ban. Immersed in the laguages of the image ban, letters resemble people, laws destroy their image and fragments form an image of the word.
