500 Times, Issue #78Cover Art, 2023

500 Times, Issue #78—Edward Yang: So the film begins to reel. A newspaper cover design decoding director Edward Yang, featuring monotype lettering as a nod to film scripts. The design alludes to his signature red—the 45ers red hat he wore on set and the red banquet balloons from Yi Yi – A One and a Two—reimagined as Unicode glyphs. This portrait reinterprets Yang's legacy through digital language, linking it to the retrospective at the Taipei Fine Art Museum.
