The typography used for the catalog, walls, and posters reflects the essence of memory—forgetting, recalling, and the lingering impression of an afterimage. Images are sequenced through deliberate visual and semantic pairings, creating continuity between each image and the next, and inviting the reader to move through the work as one might move through memory itself.
