Graphic identity and typographic installations for the Year of Language 2022 by the Klassikstiftung Weimar.
Together with exhibition design studio Franke/Steinert we designed a series of 9 public typographic installations and type installations in the city and at various museums in Weimar. The exhibition in the Goethe museum included a room of poems by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. For the sculptures quotes by famous poets and writers were used who lived in the city in the past centuries. The writings were thematically addressing politics, societal issues and human sensitivities, with strong contemporary links to nowadays realities.

The tragedy of the 1963 earth quake which destroyed 80 % of Skopje in North Macedonia of former Yugoslavia led to a pouring of international acts of solidarity and help in replanning and rebuilding the city. But also the international art community started to donate art works after the catastrophe - a collection that would create the starting point of a new museum of contemporary art.
Poland initiated an architecture competition for a museum building in Skopje and in 1970 it was opened. I designed their 50 years anniversary logo, an M which is open and incomplete, which cannot be fixed, it is fragile but adaptable, it is shaken but it is form.

Visual identity for the 8th edition of the Nordic Biennial for Contemporary Art MOMENTUM 8 - Tunnel Vision.
"Addressing conspiracy theories, paranoia and altered states of mind, the exhibition explores what might be called compressed consciousness, that may appear incestuous, navel-gazing or idiosyncratic. ... If the Internet has been a window to the world, it is now also our own mirror image on the screen."
The edition number "8" of the biennial is in the same time serving as a never-ending circling infinity sign.
The 2 publications - a READER and a VIEWER, each contain a little object - the READER, a text book, has a little flacon sitting in its spine, filled with a commissioned scent by artist Sissel Tolaas. The VIEWER, presenting views of the artworks at the biennial, holds a little micro USB stick in the spine, which you can slide out. This contains sound pieces by swedish musician Zhala and video works by artist Edward Shenk.
