Karsh Exhibition.

EXHIBITION TEASER

 

February 2009

In collaboration with: William Lau

 

A concept for a promotional exhibition hosted by the Library and Archives Canada and the Portrait Gallery of Canada featuring works by photographer Yousuf Karsh. The brief called for a temporary installation that will would be used to provide information of the upcoming exhibit.

 

The final design consisted of translucent doorway panels suspended from the ceiling to create a tunnelling effect that showcases some of the exhibit pieces. Inside an artifact camera used by Karsh will be displayed along with a short video and take-away brochures. The installation is placed inside a pit where it is visible from the front entrance.
