Found street posters from Berlin, sliced and woven
2022
Galen Gibson-Cornell’s Mark Foster: Tape plays with repetition and illusion, transforming found street posters from Berlin into a composition that mimics the layered accumulation of urban ephemera. By weaving multiples of the same poster together, Gibson-Cornell creates the visual effect of a stacked, peeling surface—suggesting the way posters build up on city walls over time. The interplay of depth and distortion blurs the boundary between reality and reconstruction, inviting viewers to question what is intact and what has been reassembled. Mark Foster: Tape captures the essence of urban layering, preserving a fleeting moment of the city’s ever-evolving visual landscape.
