First Keiu Posters were made for Rundum’s photographic art fair FOR SHOWING/FOR SELLING. The impulse for putting out posters of myself came from the situation I found myself in: I am a young unknown artist who has only few artworks to show.

I decided to relieve these complexes through this artwork. For the result I hoped to understand the futility of this problem. I created an object which had two functions: being saleable and ability to form superstar’s image. Personally it was a promise to myself: One day I will be worthy of figuring on this kind of poster.
