BODY. GAZE. POWER.

Bathing is a global social practice that is as old as humanity itself. As the place where the act of bathing occurs, the bath – in all its forms, from private bathroom to public swimming pool – has always been a site of literal and figurative reflection.

Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden BODY. GAZE. POWER. 2020

  • When we were given the job of designing the catalog for an exhibition on the cultural history of the bath at the Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, we were faced with the usual difficult decision: Which of the works in the exhibition should appear on the cover?

  • The solution, in this case, was to reimagine the book itself as a three-dimensional object in the context of the exhibition. Working closely with the curators, we developed a concept for the catalog that featured a mirror on the cover. The mirror highlights the concept of the exhibition itself while also standing in for every work of art included in the exhibition.
