European Heat Wave 2023 Poster

European Heat Wave (2023)
Poster documenting the 2023 heat wave across Europe.
Design by Gianluca Franzese

Europe burned. Records shattered. Venice sweltered.
This poster documents the summer of 2023, when large parts of Europe experienced prolonged extreme heat, contributing to wildfires, drought, and widespread strain on infrastructure and public health systems.
Venice appears here as both subject and structure — a city shaped by water, rendered under sustained heat. Geometric forms and wave-like patterns intersect, suggesting instability rather than balance. A dominant sun presses down on the composition, registering intensity, duration, and exposure rather than narrative.

Printed on synthetic 4533 press, this poster benefits from enhanced durability and color vibrancy. The synthetic 4533 press technology uses advanced printing techniques to ensure that the colors remain vivid and the material withstands various environmental conditions, making it ideal for long-term display and preservation.
