A poster designed to accompany an exhibition of the same name, presented by the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, 2025. Weltformat size, 128 × 90.5 cm (50.3 × 35.6 inches), ink jet. Design by Udo Schliemann.

My poster references the location of the gallery of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, beside Rideau Falls, in Ottawa, Canada, at the confluence of the Rideau, Gatineau and Ottawa rivers. For my poster, I used only type from Nick Shinn to create ‘Concrete Poetry’ indicating the flow of the river and the ever-evolving rhythm of life. For the poster I used the fonts Scotch Modern, Morphica, Eunoia and Artefact by Nick Shinn.”
