The Typography of Granada

May 7-21, 2025

These works are the outcome of a three-month period the artist spent in Granada.

This exhibition is an attempt to reveal the visual memory hidden in the streets of a city. “The Typography of Granada” is not merely a graphic reading—it is also a testimony, a visual diary of wandering, a memory map shaped through the eyes of an outsider. Typography is not only meant to be read; it is also meant to be felt. This exhibition blurs the boundary between seeing and reading. Each letter becomes part of a silent dialogue with the city. Each font bridges the aesthetic choices of the past with the present. Just as Granada intertwines past and present, these typographic images combine old with new, order with chaos.

Through this exhibition, I invite the city’s visitors into a kind of visual archaeology – to discover, to read, and to reimagine the hidden letters of the city.
