The Body Issue

The Body Issue, featured in NOW Gallery’s Human Stories series, presents an annual exploration of contemporary life and the human scale. Bringing together progressive communities, artists, photographers, filmmakers, writers, and thinkers, it weaves diverse perspectives into a compelling visual display.

We created the identity for the exhibition, selecting a carefully curated mix of neutral papers from GFSmith to convey a sense of humanism and tactile connection to the context.

Contemporary photographers, filmmakers and animators were invited to map out a series of images that articulate our cosmetic rituals, manipulate faces, hair and anatomy whilst capturing the subtle blemishes, nuances and imperfections that make us all individual. It was our job to present these in ways that would capture an audience’s imagination and entice them to see the work for themselves.

Full deliverables include the exhibition identity, display vinyls design & production, and a handout guide featuring the artists’ work.
