‘The Flag Show’
Typojanchi 2017 : Mhom – 5th International Typography Biennale

Raising a flag is a way to express the opinions and ideas of individuals or groups to others, and the visual language of a flag, along with the act of waving it, creates an active mise-en-scène. Fourteen designers (or teams) explore various ideas surrounding the concept of the body through flags, using typography and graphics as their medium. The flags will be simultaneously exhibited at Culture Station 284 in Seoul, Korea, and at 019 in Ghent, Belgium.
