Temporary Exhibitions in 2022
booklet exhibition design flyer graphic identity poster
Design of the graphic identity of three exhibitions for the Deutsches Historisches Museum during the 2022 season: Karl Marx and Capitalism, Richard Wagner and the Nationalization of Feeling, Herlinde Koelbl. Angela Merkel Portraits 1991–2021, and Citizenships. France, Poland, Germany since 1789.
The first two exhibitions (Karl Marx and Richard Wagner) were thought of and designed conjointly. The “portraits” of these two well-known figures were made through the world that surrounded them, integrating parts of the exhibited objects into evocative backgrounds. Typefaces became personalities, color evoked mood. Drawing from a similar graphic impulse, the Citizenships exhibition was thought of as a wink to the murkyness of what belonging and nationality can mean.
