Identity. The inner border

The exhibition at “Pavelhouse,” located on the Austria-Slovenia border, explores the intertwined histories and cultures of the two countries. During our class visit, we toured the exhibition and took photographs, each then interpreting the experience for our catalogue designs. Borders, created by human decisions, can cause emotional distance, separating people from loved ones. My design reflects this disruption through a red line printed on transparent paper, symbolising the border and making the underlying text and images only partially visible. Additionally, the cover and chapter pages feature transparent overlays with handwritten translations, visually representing the complexities of identity across borders.
