120 years of election posters

For the Swedish People's Party's 120th anniversary, I took seven original election posters from 1907 to 2023 and remade them with modern messages.

The exhibition 120 Years of Election Posters set up as a physical installation

The posters were shown as a physical exhibition, with each historic poster hanging side by side with my modern reinterpretation.
