Stress Press

Team: Dafi Kühne, HBK Saar
Ph: Lukas Ratius

Brief: During the summer semester of 2015 me and my class at the HBK Saar designed some typographic layouts starting from the Stress topic, in order to print some posters for the Analoge Plakat Gestatung course. I decided to represent the positive side of stress and pressure: adrenaline.
Yes, Adrenaline, that feeling of invincibility that helps you to concentrate to finish your mission quickly and in the best way, forgetting about fears, dangers, anxieties and paranoia. That’s why AAAAADREEENAAAALIIIIINE is the POSITIVE SIDE OF STRESS!

Print: The final size of the layouts is Weltformat (128 x 89,5 cm); we incised them on big pieces of linoleum, and printed the final products with a particular press: a steamroller.

Exhibition: The printing performance took place during an event that me and my class organized, called Stress Press; I also cared about the documentation of that event, so me and my colleague Lukas Ratius filmed a video that is avaiable below.
