For “Chinese New Year's Prints”, an exhibition curated by Alexandra von Przychowski, I was in charge of visualizing and realizing the graphic concept used in the exhibit. It was dedicated to the numerous Chinese goddesses and the worship of these deities.

 

The exhibition included the following 4 topics:
1. (red) The Chinese New Year
2. (green) Pantheon of deities (goddesses)
3. (blue) Narrative prints and theatre scenes and
4. Small God, Big City (contemporary photography)

 

Local historical photographs displaying the religious culture were set out above the prints. The prints were presented on coloured panels with a glass overlay. They're currently exhibited in China. Besides the prints, a photographic series by the American and German photographer Michael Wolf, showing shrines on the streets of modern Hong Kong, was on display.

 

The coloured panels were a special exhibition feature made of MDF (Wood fibres) and glass, designed by the museum’s exhibition architect. This design allowed me to compose and integrate several text layers in a charming and delightful manner.
- Titles Introducing each new topic, using cut plot on MDF. 
- Group texts printed behind glass.
- Legend texts using cut plot on MDF below each New Year print.
