Background

Simon’s work captivates both visually and intellectually and is driven by constant curiosity, erudition, and the quest for what he calls “synthetic folklore”—the question of how to cherish what is particular while constructing a planetary value system with the use of new technologies.

Scope

As design intern for Kuba I worked with him on Janek Simon’s exhibition in U-Jazdowski Castle for which the book was a starting point. Then we worked on exhibition album: basing on Kuba’s design outline I learned his workflow working strictly under his guideline.
