Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s poem uses irony to express the contradictions of reality. The world is beautiful if you don’t have to suffer if you’re okay with the injustices of the world. Despite all the ups and downs of life, it inevitably ends in death. This interactive poster and motion graphics consist of imagery of alcohol and drug abuse from SVA’s picture collection. To mimic to how the poem reveals more and more as it goes on, the poster reveals more as you unfold it.
