The Potato Archive
2025
The Potato Archive is a large-format experimental newspaper that combines historical research with conceptual graphic design, using the potato as a central visual, cultural, and ideological object. The publication brings together factual materials—such as historical headlines, agricultural propaganda, and socio-political narratives—and subjects them to graphic reinterpretation. Through deliberate distortion, repetition, and visual exaggeration, the project examines how seemingly neutral information can gradually shift meaning and become a tool for persuasion. Through typography, composition, texture, and scale, The Potato Archive explores how everyday objects can function as carriers of ideology, memory, and manipulation. The project questions credibility, authority, and the visual mechanisms through which information is constructed and consumed.
