Exhibition design
Q Contemporary: Central/Eastern European center of the Arts | Budapest
Photography Festival 2023: The exhibition was organised in the framework of the Festival | Budapest
Custom typography, risograph prints and complete identity design
was created for the exhibition of photographer Márton K. Takács
and poet Soma Kazsimér, which brings together the various works of
the past years. There is a fine line between the real and the
imaginary, the scientific and the speculative, the documentation
and the fine art, or the field diary and the poem.
Cryptozoology is a discipline unrecognised (yet!) by
the academic(?) sciences(?). Investigates animals/creatures whose
existence has not been proven (yet!). “For three years, we have
been researching local creatures, our Hungarian cryptofauna. They
emerged from desolate landscapes, from the collective and
individual unconscious: Werewolf of Putnok, Yeti of Mátranovák,
hydrovampire of Kömörő, Istók Hany and sirens from the Horrid
Valley. We watched them and they stared back at us.
Custom typography, spacial layouts, exhibition identity.
Type specimen
BOTANY; ZOOLOGY
[the speciment after which the new species is named and described]
Type specimen
DESIGN, TYPOGRAPHY
[type specimen is a publication that shows the range and possible variations of a typeface in use]
Type specimen is a concept which exists both in the field of typography and zoology, therefore I breeded the two concepts together to get typographic offsprings.
