PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Hello Future is a culmination of Al Qasimi’s photographic, performance and film practice, unified within her keen focus on surface and texture, and the revealing visual influences of the splashy and florid. Farah is a bright and rising multidisciplinary artist whose work examines postcolonial structures of power, gender and aesthetic in the Persian Gulf states and global cultural confluence and migration at-large. The monograph includes an essay by Negar Azimi and conversation between Al Qasimi and artist Meriem Bennani.
The images are all printed full bleed, including video stills and exhibition images.
We referenced Farah's interest in stickers and nostalgic things from her childhood by printing the book's jacket as a sticker sheet. Each image features kiss cuts tailored to each image, which can be applied to the chrome book material underneath the jacket. A foil stamped bookmark carries the cover title when shrink wrapped.

Juror Comments
“Such fun little details between the image-based spine layout, the bookmark that doubles as a title under the shrinkwrap, and the table of contents as a filmstrip. 100% kudos for making a jacket completely without text!” —Kimberly Varella
