Paper Shooting Targets consists of paper targets for rifles and pistols. In the entire history of graphic design, targets are perhaps the most fundamental and simplistic typologies: they are two-dimensional structures dedicated to a single point. Target shooting, whether a practical exercise in perception and skill, or a sport in itself (however clean, methodical, and technological) is always about power, blood, and death. At the center of a target is a bull's-eye. Targets are visually strikingthey are also loaded. This collection mimics the history of art and its transition from realism to abstraction. |
