Speakers: Black Skew (graphic designer, photographer, graphic artist) × Anne Murayama (founder of Ephemere, curator, editor, photographer)

 

Black Skew, together with Anne Murayama, presents a collaborative workshop at TABF, inviting visitors to create black-and-white collages on A4 sheets using grids, shapes, textures, typography, and photographs collected in Tokyo in the days before the Fair. All works will form a collective portrait of the city, later scanned and developed into a future issue of the “black skew” series, combining participants’ creations with the artists’ graphics and photographs. Before the workshop, a talk will introduce Black Skew’s monochrome design process, its creative value of constraint, and present selected publications and artworks from recent years.

Black Skew
Black Skew is a photo/graphic project by Marco Belardinelli, an Italian graphic designer and photographer based in London. Developed through photography and graphics, it explores form and personal aesthetics through travel and visual research in cities, alongside the creation of artworks. The ongoing series “black skew” investigates different themes in each issue; he published HND (Haneda), a black-and-white risograph book of a journey through Tokyo, along with other publications. He is part of Dogma Studio together with Giulia Boggio.
