Client: The Comedian’s Workshop 相聲瓦舍
The clients of the “Nong” project are renowned Taiwanese crosstalk comedians, the “Comedian’s Workshop”. “Nong” is their grand annual performance in year 2017. The word “Nong”(弄) in Chinese has multiple meanings, including:
1. To play or tease with.
2. Alley; Lane.
3. A type of lyrical performance in the Tang Dynasty of ancient China.
2. Alley; Lane.
3. A type of lyrical performance in the Tang Dynasty of ancient China.
The concept is to combine these three definitions by illustrating a street scene of the Tang Dynasty. In order to literally “play” with the audience, I merged the Chinese character of “Nong”(弄) into the negative space of the poster. The names of the three performers are displayed on the columns and the plaque in the illustration. In addition, the three colors chosen in the illustration also derive from the costumes of these comedians.

「弄」這個字，取用了馮翊綱老師原先想呈現的遊戲、耍弄的意義，運用圖地反轉的方式將此次作品名稱結合在插畫中。同時，弄也是中國古典戲曲的稱呼，插畫主題便以魚眼透視法，繪製出了古典唐朝街頭巷弄之感。
