The maximum effect of a poster is a striking verbal and visual reduction to the essentials. "Like something unexpected and surprising, as a kind of optical incident ..." ... "The poster must enter the emotional sphere ... like a burglar through the window, with a crowbar in his hand ..." A.M. Cassandre

Slimy pit tea – its playtime!
An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, typically using all the original letters exactly once. For example, the word anagram can be rearranged into nag a ram, or the word binary into brainy.The original word or phrase is known as the subject of the anagram. Any word or phrase that exactly reproduces the letters in another order is an anagram. Someone who creates anagrams may be called an "anagrammatist", and the goal of a serious or skilled anagrammatist is to produce anagrams that reflect or comment on their subject. Wikipedia

By chance, we select only one term from a dictionary. This term we supplement with two other self-selected words, generate anagrams and find the right juxtaposition. By rearranging the basic design elements (e.g., word, point, line, from,), the context changes and we provoke new products, new moving posters. The play with the coincidence and the process generates new compositions during our work. We work analog and digital.
