The Prelude Exhibition of The First Shanghai Graphic Design Biennale – TopoPoster: International Poster Design Exhibition, after six months (June – December, 2025) of planning and preparation, was successfully held from December 13 to December 22, 2025. As one of the larger-scale exhibitions in recent years featuring an international selection of works in China, it showcased over 300 representative poster designs from 153 influential contemporary designers and studios active in the forefront of the field across 28 countries.

Anonymous Visage- Photography Exhibition

Instead of directly projecting the artworks featured in the exhibition—which I felt would spoil the audience’s curiosity—I chose another approach. I used the circle as a symbolic representation of the human face, concealing its edges beneath layered surfaces. This concept reflected the essence of the exhibition itself, where parts of the faces in the artworks were visible while others remained hidden.
