Squid Game Poster – Jiwoon Pak

10-color screenprint on French Construction Pure White“I was fascinated by the colorful and childlike mise-en-scène of Squid Game conflicting with its brutal and dark storyline. In particular, I was attracted to the Red Light Green Light Girl as she looked like an innocent child, but felt like a ruthless ruler of the game, or a spectator watching the scene of a murder, without sympathy. Focusing on this girl statue with cozy and hazy color, I wanted to capture some discomfort and anxiety caused by ambivalent motifs of Squid Game, such as life and death, equality and inequality, hope and despair.”– Jiwoon Pak
