PRIZE POSTERS

SCIENCE FICTION FACT POSTERS

To honor laureates in fundamental physics, life sciences, and mathematics at the Breakthrough Prize in 2019 and 2023, we envisioned each of their discoveries as a movie, and designed its poster. The strategy was to frame each complex and advanced scientific discovery as a story, rather than a scientific illustration. The approach was enabled by using the visual language of film posters, which distill complex plots and characters into a single narrative image. With BW Architects.
