Archive Report
Monograph of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava mapping the first 50 years of its existence with a mystifying twist scattered throughout its layout. On the occasion of its 70th anniversary, the Academy of Fine Arts and Design published the Archive Report on the State of the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava by Mgr. Iva Dejová, PhD. It is a complex overview of events and documentation of the comprehensive history of the school departments and teachers from the school’s establishment in 1949 to the Velvet Revolution in 1989.
While researching for the project, it came as a surprise that between 1949–1989 the Academy did not use any complex visual identity. This was used as the starting point in creating the concept for the book itself and came up with an absurd idea – could it actually be created anew, gradually changing accordingly to each period’s design trends while masquerading as the real deal? An opportunity too crazy to pass on resulted in a conceptual hoax, a legend of a deer as the school’s logo which has a historical basis in the family sigil of one of the school’s early patrons. Look closely or you’ll miss it… keywords: cup, stamp, poster, diploma. This new reality offers great potential for whoever works with the identity in the future and also reflects the contemporary topics of ‘fake news’ or ‘hoaxes’.
