BRIEF
To design the catalog for Haegue Yang’s exhibition containing new works utilizing the colors and textures of spices and vegetables with print works produced in collaboration with STPI’s workshop, while drawing attention to the power of spices and everyday food from its domestic function to its impact on civilizations.
APPROACH
Broken up into six series/chapters, we created a catalog that echoed the hodgepodge of materials and food items, framing the diversity of work through paper stacks of different sizes, a solution born out of the need for variation without going overboard with the graphics or layout itself. Viewed from the front, these differing dimensions reveal a cover that is a harmonious collection of all the different series gathered together, and the screw-binding reinforces the raw look of the work.
