Shepard Fairey has shaped visual culture like no other – from his famous Hope posters to his Obey Giant billboards. His works transcend the boundaries of classic street art and graphic design and have become global symbols of activism and social change.


With over 140 murals, countless stickers and posters, and works in major museums, Shepard Fairey has developed a visual language that provokes and inspires at the same time.

The exhibition Photo Synthesis, on view from 17 October 2025 to 8 March 2026 at Fotografiska Berlin, takes visitors on a journey from Shepard Fairey's first poster and paste-up experiments to screen prints, digital collages and a complex of works created especially for this exhibition.
It shows how photography has helped shape Fairey's artistic development. By combining important works with new pieces, it highlights an artistic language that continually redefines the urban landscape.
