The Circulation Tank 2 (Umlauftank 2 1967–1974) is a heritage protected Berlin landmark built by German architect Ludwig Leo (1924–2012). The iconic building is a laboratory—a testing ground for flow experiments, for modes of architectural expression and now since its restoration for how to deal with recent monuments. The utopian planning approach of the Umlauftank 2 constitutes a synthesis of form and function, of creative collaboration and minimalist structure, of scientific research and expressive appearance.

The book design represents the architecture’s spirit. It aims at communicating the social relevance of heritage protection to a broader public. Re-interpreting design elements from the original building, the book brings together historic and poetic, documentary and critical perspectives on a rare architecture design approach. There was supposed to be a book launch in March 2020. Because of Covid it was canceled. But luckily we could publish this book later 2021.

The poster announces the annual exhibition of funded design projects of the Canton of Bern. The exhibition had to be cancelled very shortly before the opening. The posters were printed but never used. The grey poster was used to communicate the cancellation.

Poster for the monothematic monthly programme of Zurich-based arthouse cinema Xenix. The films were selected and compiled by Xenix co-programme director Jenny Billeter on the topic “Flucht nach vorn” (escaping ahead).

The retrospective at the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf introduces Lutz Mommartz’s multilayered film oeuvre and reveals thematic and associative connections between the films. In addition, Mommartz undertakes a revision of his films in two large-scale installations and, from his current perspective, develops a presentation that uses cinematic processes such as montage, loops, slow motion, acceleration, and fragmentation. The exhibition is thus both a retrospective of Mommartz’s oeuvre from the past 50 years and its premiere. The opening of the exhibition was scheduled for November 21, 2020, but was postponed until further notice. The images shown here are excerpts from various ephemera and the two-volume exhibition catalog.

Fulgurances is a collective in the field of contemporary cuisine (restaurants, events, publications, etc.). We have been working with them since 2011. In 2020, they were in charge of the restaurant in l’Entrepôt which is a cultural place that brought cinemas, a restaurant, a bar and radio stations together. In September 2020, they came up with a cinema-cooking series, “Le Goût du Cinéma”, by inviting chefs to choose a film and compose a dinner for the audience after the screening. We designed the first 5 posters of this series, before the second lockdown in France put an end to this project (the last event was canceled.)

Jazzdor (Improvised music Festivals in France and Germany) had to cancel its Berlin festival in June because of Covid. Despite the uncertainty and contradictory injunctions from the French government (different health protocols every 2 weeks), Jazzdor decided to keep its November festival in Strasbourg. We produced programs and posters with silkscreen printing. The second part of the festival, which began on October 30, was cancelled. The other consequence, positive this time, was for Jazzdor to relaunch his record label. 5 vinyl records are in preparation for the year 2021.

This poster announced the first event of this new foundation in Geneva and was silkscreen printed by Lezard Graphique in Strasbourg. Unfortunately, the event was canceled due to the virus.

After the first lockdown as well as the closure of Uldry screen printing—who used to print these posters—RKC was back on track to promote their music space. This F4 poster announced the program of the month November at RKC and was printed by Duodart in Geneva. Unfortunately the planned events were hit by the second wave of Covid-19. Once again it was hung in the streets with no other aim than to hopefully bring at least a little color to the streets of Vevey :)
