About this poster
This is a striking concert poster design by EMEK for Pearl Jam's show at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA on 4-29-16. The artwork carries a powerful environmental message about human-caused extinction, featuring two central skeleton figures dressed as hunters/soldiers holding rifles, surrounded by a menagerie of endangered and extinct animals rendered in a detailed, illustrative style with purple and blue tones.
The first side shows the full color version with two banners reading "PEARL JAM" curved around an elephant's trunk at the top. The surrounding animals include whales, tigers, gorillas, wolves, bears, giraffes, eagles, dolphins, and other species, all rendered in intricate detail with a luminous purple-blue color palette. The central figures are shown in more muted browns and greens, creating a stark contrast.
The second side appears to be a monochromatic version that includes lists of extinct and endangered species on either side of the central figures, serving as a sobering documentation of human impact on biodiversity. The title "MAN MADE EXTINCTION" appears at the top, with a subtitle referencing "THE HOLOCENE EXTINCTION."
The poster powerfully illustrates the quote about the sixth mass extinction, using the military/hunter imagery to directly implicate human activity in species loss. The juxtaposition of the armed skeleton figures against the diverse array of threatened wildlife creates a clear narrative about humanity's role in environmental destruction.
