Upcycled Alternative Posters:
From MUBI to the Streets
The surplus film posters from MUBI became part of a different kind of creative process at Park. Familiar faces and scenes from cinema history turned into the raw material for an upcycling journey. This was not just about rearranging visuals, but about giving unused materials a new life.
Participants cut, reassembled, and transformed the posters through their own aesthetic visions. Colors, typography, and visual layouts were redefined, resulting in alternative posters that each stood as a unique work of art.
The process demonstrated that upcycling is not only the physical transformation of objects, but also the reconstruction of meanings, stories, and contexts. The original cinematic memory carried by the posters was reinterpreted through a new design language.
By the end of the workshop, the alternative posters did not stay on the table. They moved to the city’s walls, becoming visible in public spaces and turning both production and transformation into a living street exhibition.
This workshop revealed the aesthetic and cultural dimensions of upcycling, proving once again that unused materials can be transformed into powerful artistic tools.
