Unter Pflanzen
Unter Pflanzen (Among Plants)
The exhibition “Unter Pflanzen” (Among Plants) at Museum Sinclair Haus shows us plants as living, perceptive beings that form countless connections and also shape us humans. We designed the key visual and a publication for the exhibition.
Key Visual
For the exhibition, we designed a key visual that creatively interprets the unpredictable, changing and proliferating nature of plants: Using an iris printing process in offset printing, large sheets of paper were pre-printed, which were then provided with imprints for different print formats. The result was a memorable design system that nevertheless produced surprisingly experimental visual results.
Magazine
The magazine “Unter Pflanzen” (Among Plants) brings together literature and poetry as well as texts from the fields of philosophy, art, media, literature and natural sciences, each of which explores plants in a specific way as intelligent, sentient beings. The design works with the idea of an encounter with a plant: from getting to know each other to a deeper conversation and exploring similarities. Abstract illustrations of plants run throughout the publication and enter into a dialog with the content.
