This picture of human arabic typography, reading تضاريس / Relief / Tadariss, was taken on the first day of a seminar on 3D typography I gave at the Académie Libanaise
des Beaux-Arts in Beirut, Lebanon.

Working with Masters students in Art Direction and Multimedia, we a created choreography-based pluri-alphabetic piece allowing a group of people posing as human letterforms to express a word in English, then in French, and finally in Arabic in a few moves, reflecting on the Lebanese multi-lingual culture.
