Ten Images for Ithaca: Designers and Artists From 67 Countries Reveal Their Portrait
June 21, 2009 | Levent OZLER
This year's poster competition Ten Images for Ithaca brought together 1468 designers and artists from countries widely known for their tradition in poster design such as Switzerland, Poland, Iran and Germany as well as countries with an extremely interesting and upcoming design scene like China, Korea and Brazil.
The history, memories, the social, political and personal identity of each one of the participants is revealed in a unique way through the 142 posters selected by the jury.
Each designer worked through imagery and emotions using photography, illustration and typography in order to describe themselves.
The result is a rich and multi-dimensional collection of strong images and self portraits, testimonies and absolute manifestos of "I".
The Ten Images for Ithaca award ceremony and the exhibition featuring the 10 winning and 132 finalist posters will open on July 11, 2009 on the island of Ithaca and on September 17 in Athens, Greece.
