Noisy Identity for the exhibition RESET during Salone Del Mobile 2016



During Salone del Mobile 2016 in Milan, the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK) presented RESET: a truly experimental and interdisciplinary exhibition.  

The slogan ‘Design is collaboration’ spurred the exhibition design team to reset the idea of the Gesamtkunstwerk. Instead of designing a single character that functions independently to the objects on display they opted to create Johnson: a caretaker with multiple personalities who guided the different voices residing in his apartment. At a Intimate environment of a private penthouse in the heart of Ventura Lambrate. An exhibition in a home. 20 young artists and designers.

RESET the translation from color to black and white.  That reflects the endless image input that visitors experience during the event.
