WHAT IS NANKIN LAB?
There’s a strange pleasure in watching a building crumble to the ground, tearing in half a sheet of paper or making a balloon explode, they are actions that may last less than a second, nevertheless, being so ephemeral, they move you more in a short lapse of time, we can say they are speed actions creating high intensity moments. Nankin Lab is a design studio which works within these moments to generate new projects. We are Nankin Lab and we consider destruction as a constructive weapon.I HAVE BEEN SERIES
Under the name “I Have Been Series” Nankin Lab produced a variety of posters, which as the name suggests “they have been” in different places during certain period of time. The key point is the graphic redundancy of the project: on one hand, the typography explains where the poster has been exposed (before being framed), and on the other hand, the erosion of the poster makes a direct reference to the space and time at which it has been exposed. Thus, one view reinforces the other explaining it differently but in a complementary manner.
