Who are you?

Benbo George, an illustrator and graphic designer, from Liverpool, UK

Why do you think you have been invited to be a part of the art show?

Possibly because the abstract nature of my work lends itself the abstract nature of our existence.

What is the link between the movie It Was On Earth That I Knew Joy and your poster?

The end of our time on earth.

What are your top three favorite movies?

Clockwork Orange, Rumble Fish and Annie Hall.

What did you learn today?

That Napoleon was not actually small. His height at the time of his death was recorded in French measurements. These were never converted to the english measurements, causing him to ‘lose’ around 5 inches in height. He was actually an average height for this period of time.

Who are you ?

My name is Laurent Poignot aka Faker. I’m a freelance art director living in Paris. I am part of Sixpack family since maybe 1999. Lionel Vivier is like my brother from different mother. He took me on his white horse and we still gallop.

Why do you think you have been invited to be a part of that art show?

When Sixpack told me i had to do a poster for the show, it was a kind of “before Christmas” present. It’s an honour for me to be a part of this art show. To see my work exhibited with guys like Akroe, Cody Hudson or Steven Harrington is a real pleasure.

What is the link between the movie « It was on earth that i knew joy » and your poster?

I watched several times the movie and i focused on a sentence said by the robot JBL. I decided to make a typographic composition with this sentence, it’s like a movie summary in one sentence.

What are your top three favorite movies ?

True Romance (Tony Scott) / The Goonies (Richard Donner) / Une femme est une femme (Jean-Luc Godard). Guess which one comes in first!

What did you learn today?

I learnt that it was better to print CMYK than RGB. I also learnt that Cathy Guetta is a man.

Twenty artists were involved in the exhibition such as Honet, Cody Hudson, PMKFA, Russell Maurice, Mark Owens, ill-Studio etc…
We invited them to create artworks all inspired by the movie directed by Jean Baptiste de Laubier and produced by Sixpack France.

See the pictures of the installations and posters created for the exhibition.
The posters are handscreenprinted on a limited run of 25 ex.
They should be available on our online store very soon.

The show will run until March 13th 2010.

Thanks to the artists and SCION team (Jerie, Evan, Edit, Kent, and the doctor) !

Why do you think you have been invited to be a part of the art show?

It might be the fear, the fear made by the idea that we could be very upset by the fact of not being invited.

What is the link between the movie « It Was On Earth That I Knew Joy » and your poster?

Image hijacking, information  manipulation , death and nature.
