Project Description

Project Description

The Revealist is a storytelling service created to expose the forgotten stories about New York City. It uses the city as a canvas to reveal stories through urban installations, performances, and events. The Revealist provokes the hordes of busy New Yorkers away from their daily routine by playfully sparking their curiosity and momentarily engaging them with the fantastic stories that make this city what it is today.

A stylized rooster with purple and gray feathers stands next to a martini glass containing a purple feather. The background is light beige with a teal watercolor splash behind the rooster. The text “THE REVEALIST” appears in dark gray letters to the right of the glass.

The image shows a cover of "The Reve & List" magazine featuring a pencil sketch of a seated figure. The figure has long brown hair and wears a light pink/beige robe or gown over a lighter garment. The figure's legs are crossed in a relaxed pose, and they are wearing high-heeled shoes. The background is a light beige color with a textured, speckled pattern. A watercolor-style splash of blue, pink, and purple colors is visible behind the figure. Below the figure, the text reads "Lord Carbury, NVC Governor 1762." At the bottom of the cover, "The REVE & LIST" is printed in a stylized font.

A panoramic illustration shows a cityscape with a large brown brick church in the center, flanked by lampposts and a paved street. Behind it, a skyline of colorful buildings rises against a light beige background with scattered blue and pink splatters. A pink-roofed building is visible on the right, and a white archway is on the right side of the street.

A stylized cityscape illustration features two symmetrical, multi-story brick buildings flanking a central, taller, dark brick tower. The buildings are arranged symmetrically on either side of a central paved pathway. The background includes a stylized skyline with additional buildings in pastel colors. A light blue splash is visible behind the central tower. Small potted plants are placed along the right side of the pathway, and a clock is mounted on the left.

A computer screen displays a stylized cityscape with a tall, narrow building in the center. The street leads toward the building, flanked by shorter buildings on either side. A speech bubble near the center reads: "EDWARD HYDE, A.K.A. LORD CORNBURY, WAS OBSESSED WITH EARS. IT IS SAID THIS WAS A DECISIVE FACTOR IN CHOOSING HIS WIFE." A magnifying glass highlights a close-up of a green, stylized ear icon in the lower right corner. The browser’s address bar shows “http://the-realist.com/”.

The image shows a collection of nine square cards arranged in a 3x3 grid on a white background. Each card features a stylized illustration and text. The illustrations include a whale with a light blue body and purple and blue splashes behind it, a rooster with a gray and white body and a purple tail, and a wine glass with a purple liquid inside and a purple feather next to it. The text “THE REVELIST” is printed below each illustration in a dark brown or black font.

The image shows a collection of rectangular cards arranged on a white background. Each card has a dark brown border and a light gray or beige interior with a repeating geometric pattern. The text "The Reve & List" is printed in a dark brown serif font on each card. The cards are slightly offset from each other, creating a grid-like pattern across the image.

A construction crane is positioned on a platform overlooking the New York City skyline. The crane is dark gray or black and extends upward. The foreground features a concrete wall with graffiti, including a white design on the left side and large, light gray or white letters on the right side. The wall shows signs of wear and discoloration. The background includes the skyline of tall buildings under a clear, light gray or blue sky.

A grayscale image of a woman with long hair, wearing a headpiece, displayed on a screen. The screen shows text including “LORD GODFREY,” “2/5/1958,” “6’6”,” “6’FT,” “5’6”,” “5’FT,” and “4’6””. The screen is framed by concentric circles and overlaid with geometric patterns. The background consists of gray and green concrete walls with circular white designs.

A disposable coffee cup with a black lid and a brown paper sleeve sits on a light green patterned surface. The sleeve has a green and white design featuring two faces and the words “Give back” and “Money!”. The cup is positioned slightly off-center, facing forward.

A grayscale close-up of a woman’s face, with her eyes closed and head tilted back. She holds a teal and white rectangular object near her right eye. A green-tinted hand is visible on the left side of the image. In the top left corner, a yellow box contains the text "NYC Governor."

A mural of a seated figure with long hair and a beard, wearing a robe and holding a pillow, is painted on the side of a light-colored building. The figure is seated on a bench-like structure. Above the figure, colorful splashes of paint are visible. Below the figure, the name “KEVE ALLI” is painted. The building is part of a street scene, with pedestrians walking on the sidewalk and a streetlight visible to the left. A black van is parked on the street to the right of the building. A banner advertising a film festival is mounted on a nearby building.

Two hands hold a small rectangular card. The card displays a watercolor illustration of a person with long dark hair, wearing a purple robe and seated on a dark chair with legs visible. The figure has a yellow band across their forehead. The background is light blue with a faint repeating pattern. The hands holding the card are positioned against a light-colored surface with a subtle texture.

Two hands hold a folded piece of paper with a drawing on it. The drawing depicts two figures, one seated on a chair and the other leaning over them. The figure leaning over has long dark hair and a yellow band across its forehead. The paper is off-white with watercolor splashes in blue, pink, and yellow. A white tag with text is attached to the bottom left corner of the paper. The background is a light teal patterned surface.
