PROJECT DESCRIPTION
‘Profane verlichting', which translates to 'Profane illumination' is a collection of poetry by Dutch psychonaut and poet Johannes van der Sluis. In his third collection the poet gives an intense account of the summer months in a year when everything was at a standstill, but under his magnifying glass they could take on mythical proportions.
And that's exactly what we based the design concept on: the bright yellow visualize the warm sweltering summer days. Silver beams of light are being transformed though the poets surreal point of view. A minimal yet strikingly colorful result.
