Claude Levi Strauss Staircase Billboard

This project features a monumental, multi-story hanging billboard (canvas) designed in collaboration with co-authors Katarina Mrvar and Matjaž Čuk. It was created for the 10th international EASA (European Association of Social Anthropologists) conference in 2008 at the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana, which honored the 100th anniversary of the birth of Claude Lévi-Strauss, the father of structural anthropology.

The massive canvas hung in the central staircase of the faculty, completely transforming the architectural space. It was a highly innovative setup: instead of a traditional series of separate panels, the exhibition worked as a single, continuous visual vertical line. As visitors walked from floor to floor, they moved through the content of the poster, creating a dynamic experience of discovering details. By physically connecting multiple floors of the building, the layout visually reflected Lévi-Strauss's ideas about structures and connections.
