Poster for ISBN Book Launch

Fiona Banner
British, born 1966
2010
A large digital-print poster that adopts the look of a packaging or production template to stage the phrase “LEGAL DEPOSIT,” collapsing legal language and manufacturing design into one image.
Oversized serif capitals reading “LEGAL DEPOSIT” dominate a spare white sheet, set amid faint dotted measurement lines and tiny manufacturing notes so the page reads like a sterile blueprint or bag template.
By grafting bureaucratic and industrial graphics onto a poster, Banner makes visible how legal, commercial, and production systems shape the material life and circulation of books and texts.
