Interdebut ’76 – International Review of Student Graphics

Poster by Piotr Kunce promoting Interdebut ’76 – International Review of Student Graphics depicts a monumental shoe crushing a graphic print lying on a white rectangle of paper. This symbolic scene, set against a background shifting from pink to purple, can be interpreted as an ironic commentary on the relationship between institutions and artistic creation, between the act of making and the mechanism of evaluation. The oversized, heavy shoe exudes a sense of brutality, sharply contrasting with the fine, delicate halftone mesh beneath it. A bold red border contains bilingual inscriptions in Polish and English, emphasizing the international scope of the event. The design reflects the conceptual poster language of the 1970s, where a simple visual gesture conveys complex meanings about freedom and oppression in the realm of art.
