The 'Hyperimages' project dissects Kim Kardashian's prominent role as a social media influencer. Led by OFFSHORE in the Visual Communication master program at the Zurich School of the Arts, this publication presents varied viewpoints from the workshop on this modern-day topic, engaging with discourses like body shaping, (de-)coding of social media images, Kardashian’s other outlets such as Keeping Up With The Kardashians. The publication is replenished with essays from Annamaria Vasvari and Christoph Miler, providing a deeper understanding on Kim Kardashian and her meaning for the Zeitgeist. The layout concept aims to explore themes of copyright on the world wide web, using both digital and analog color palettes, thereby creating an overall concept that is tangential to the individual contributions by the students.
