KABK GRADUATION 2021 CAMPAIGN

Royal Academy of Art The Hague Graduation Show 2021 Campaign made in collaboration with Zahari Dimitrov

"Our campaign triggers an explosion, a curiosity, attention to something precious and a wish to explore. Reflecting upon our own experiences while studying at the KABK was our main fuel. The campaign bridges both the wild, experimental, and subtle, reflective modes of studying. By mixing archival and original visuals from scientific, fictitious and primary sources, our campaign recalls the cycles of time. It symbolizes the rite of passage, where the current generation invites another to take its place."
