manipulation

‘en publique’ are a new name to me and i really like this poster of theirs, it is for a series of lectures by dutch novelist ‘arnon grunberg’ at a dutch university on the subject of ‘manipulation and power’ the solution: two separate posters of his face divided in two and set at odd angles so that the posters can be combined together to clone and manipulate his face in different ways… good work guys, i really like it…
