There is no better trigger for thinking than laughter.
Walter Benjamin
Selected Writings, vol. 2, 1927–1934, published 1999
Artist Statement
In this poster, words that refer to laughter (“giggle,” “snicker”) or the sounds of laughter (“hehe,” “jajaja”) are placed inside speech balloons of varying form and size, and rendered in different typefaces, creating a cacophony of laughing noises designed to trigger reflection.
