Proof of Presence

The primary challenge was creating a meaningful connection between tickets from different artists, venues, eras, and scales without relying on a single genre or chronological narrative. The publication needed to show what connected the collection beyond the individual concerts themselves.

Developed a consistent publication system that pairs each ticket with artist, venue, date, historical context, and other event details. Repetition and structured layouts create continuity across the collection, while a comparison spread examines differences in concert scale and experience.

The resulting publication reframes the tickets as archival objects rather than isolated pieces of memorabilia. By organizing and comparing the collection through a shared visual system, the publication reveals how different concert experiences remain connected through their role as tangible records of attendance.
