Plakat (Signale Aus dem Mull)

A visually striking work by Lothar Hempel, *Plakat (Signale Aus dem Mull)* functions as a poster-like composition that draws on the visual language of graphic design, signage, and mass communication. The piece reflects Hempel's characteristic interest in cultural debris and the fragmented signals of modern life, weaving together imagery and text to evoke a sense of coded meaning beneath surface aesthetics. Its title, loosely translated as "Signals from the Trash," suggests a excavation of discarded cultural forms, repositioning overlooked or disposable material as a source of resonant communication.
