Man On Wire
— Live at Tetris
Poster ✓
I designed this poster for the Man On Wire concert at Tetris club. The name of the band is a reference to Philippe Petit, the french acrobat who in 1974 walked on a rope between the Twin Towers in New York, but their sound is definitely american. Man On Wire play that kind of warm and emotional folk-rock that you can find in certain songs by Arcade Fire, Wilco or The National. Their style can be described as a rope from the music to your heart. A rope that I literally put in the poster, a rope intended to be walked by the concert viewer. A walk on a wire during which the listener of the concert can freely dream and excite himself. Traveling with emotions just like when you look at some coloured skies from a high ground (a blurred sky view is placed for this reason on the poster, above two crossed ropes and behind some diversified lettering).
Notes
The ‘blurred sky’ idea is inspired by the works of photographer and artist Eric Cahan. Some parts of the project presentation text are quotes by musical reviewer and journalist Enzo Baruffaldi.
