Balance
2010
Poster for the Invitational Shanghai Expo Exhibition:
Better HOME city, better life.
To me, a better life in my home city means striking a balance between nature and mankind, between mobility and residence, between community and individuality, between civil society and a citizen's eco-responsibility. The central motif is therefore a mobile. Installed as a fixed structure in homes, it turns freely in the air and is the perfect symbol of balance - despite its asymmetrical form. The iconic motifs used are from Erwin Poell's imagery of Heidelberg. Linked together as parts of the mobile, they symbolize the equilibrium between Heidelberg's man-made landmarks and structures and the city's natural surroundings.
