Ikarus: Impuls @Neubad Lucerne

Concert poster for the band «Ikarus» and their program «Impuls» in the Neubad Lucerne, a former public pool which is now a cultural establishment. The design comes out from the bands program, taking the impulses into the visual language. Reduced to the max, only working with the naked information; growing and declining rhythmically over the canvas. Pulses generate more entities, pulses reduce them. They form a pattern, a formally new macrocosmos from the distance, unfolding in «just» the basic information from up close.
