Silk lanterns from Jinju — a touring exhibition for Berlin and Budapest.
We built the exhibition system for Lights of Korea: silk lanterns from Jinju, shown at the Korean Cultural Centres in Berlin and Budapest. One spatial identity — photo wall, type and colour, campaign, exit image — designed to travel.
A 6.95-metre run across the landing — three panels, one continuous lantern field. Rows lock at the joints; the title sits in the darkest band, where the wall can carry the name without competing with the light.
LIGHTS OF
KOREA
SILK LANTERNS
FROM JINJU
Jinju’s lantern craft reaches back to the Imjin War of 1592, when lights on the Nam River carried messages across the water. The exhibition treats that light as material — and reads a thousand years of the city through it.
One stack for both cities: bold italic title, light italic subtitle, dates and venue at the foot. Only the lantern crop changes — so the announcement holds from a phone screen to a poster.
Lanterns on the water at Jinju — one full-bleed image to leave on. Horizon, no type. You feel it before you read a word.
From Berlin to Budapest without redesigning the system. Title wall in Hungarian, English in light italic beside it; the bilingual intro moved to the white wall next door — so the photography keeps the full dark field.
