EXHIBITION · LINHAI GENE DECODING | 临海文化基因解码展

How we confront a city's past will determine the path we take toward its future.

Linhai is not solely confined to the words you first encounter or the firsthand experience of this city. It can also reside in the spaces in between, within poetry and imagery.

We embarked on an experiment in visual deconstruction, seeking to find Linhai between the lines of text and the frames of images, placing it at the crossroads of reading and viewing. Posters, as a contemporary medium, are appreciated for their straightforward means of expression.

This time, we invited 15 young designers to transform texts, images, and their personal perceptions of Linhai into poster art, resulting in a captivating reinterpretation. Unraveling the cultural DNA of Linhai, we aim to showcase the achievements of this ancient city's culture. Through a fresh perspective on tradition, we hope to harvest glimpses of the future.

This is the story of a city named Linhai.

如何面对一座城市的过去，将决定我们如何走向一座城市的未来。  

临海，不仅在你最初了解它的文字里，不仅在最终你亲临这座城市的体验里。它也可以处在中间，在诗歌和影像里。

我们试图完成一个图像解构实验，找到文字和图像之间的临海，把它放在阅读和观看之间。   海报，作为一种当代媒介，以其直白的表达方式受到大众欢迎。

这次，我们邀请15位年轻设计师将关于临海的文本、影像以及对这座城市的个人体会，以海报为表现形式，进行了一场妙趣横生的复写。 解码临海文化基因，展现府城文化创建成果。 我们希望在对传统的检视中收获眺望未来的新鲜目光。

关于这座叫临海的城市。
