Big Picture

Is an analog image only a part of the physically perceptible world, or can it trigger other images in another dimension? Do the images we see every day stand alone or do they exist in a larger context? What is the big picture? Big Picture is a multimodal graphic narrative on the concept of reality based on the dialogue between Socrates (S) and Glaucon (G) taken from Plato’s Book VII in The Republic. Consisting of a book, an analog and a digital augmented reality (AR) poster, graphic elements are specifically arranged so that different perceptions of reality are interrelated across several platforms. This project was developed under the mentorship of Christoph Miler.
