Life-size marionettes, graphic art and collages, fantastical hybrid creatures, ceramics, surrealist paintings, taxidermy, obscure fetishes and relics, cinemas and stages—the universe of Czech surrealists Jan and Eva Švankmajer seems never-ending.

The special exhibition created with Jiří Fajt opened its doors at Kunsthalle im Lipsiusbau in Dresden, giving an insight into the artistic couple’s lives and work.

We were commissioned by the State Art Collection Dresden to develop the communication material for the exhibition campaign.

First we started exploring various routes based on the available film footage of Švankmajer. With appropriate typefaces by Czech type designers we then refined our drafts.

With more than 20.000 visitors this special exhibition was a great success for the State Art Collection Dresden.
