In Light of Recent Events is a scrapbook that serves as a personal reflection on the visual topology of news reporting and the aesthetics with which news images and headlines communicate a sense of urgency and immediacy, that marks the state of alertness today. By magnifying the archetypical ways of communication used in news reporting, the book creates an even bigger and more outrageous spectacle of it. The project was made possible by the Creative Industries Fund NL.
