Ästhetik des Vergessens
IED Barcelona - Student: Donata Kottulinsky
Academic year
2024/2025
A project that explores the aesthetics of forgetting through visual design
Through distortions, erasure, transparency, and absence, the student analyzes how memory is not fixed, but fluid, fragmented, and constantly reconstructed, and questions what happens when we can no longer fully trust our own memories.
Each piece of her work invites the viewer to make that loss tangible, opening a space for reflection.
Through poetic images and interactive formats, the thesis explores where memory ends and imagination begins, in a visual attempt to cling to something that is fading away.
Donata Kottulinsky is a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design student.
