The project is taking part in the competition

No truly iconic musician exists in isolation from their visual persona. This persona is a complex system, emerging from album covers, stage costumes, symbolic details, and—most importantly—from the fans themselves, who make this visual language visible by carrying it into everyday life. This process of transferring visual codes from the music industry into mass culture becomes the central theme of the visual investigation.

The book «Musical Visual» is a decade-by-decade chronology—a journey through the moments when an album ceased to be just a collection of tracks and transformed into a cultural phenomenon that radically altered the fashion, behavior, aesthetic norms, and collective ideals of an entire generation.
