body—text—space

The visual communication design students from Aalto University present an exhibition featuring experimental and visual writing, along with typography that explores the interactive relationships between body, text, and space. The ambitious exhibition design encompasses not only the walls but also extends to the floor.

The body—text—space exhibition at Luonnos features 22 sentences reflecting the question, ”What does the body know about writing?” The exhibition aims to challenge the boundaries between image and text, redefine the concepts of readability and authorship, and challenge preconceptions about the relationships between writing, design, and reading.

The concept of a kinesphere inspires the exploration of body, text, and space. The kinesphere is a space surrounding the body within which limbs can reach.

The exhibition consists of 22 sentences designed through a collective and experimental process. Each sentence has been reinterpreted typographically to create a spatial reading experience. Although the works do not have individual authors, short exhibition descriptions reveal each designer’s personal process and relationship with the text, body, and space.
