Desdémone. Entre désir et désespoir
A painting by Eugène Delacroix inspired by Shakespeare’s famous drama, Othello and Desdemona, is the source of reflection and the origin of the exhibition Desdémone. Entre désir et désespoir, presented at the Institut du Monde Arabe in March 2015.
To go with the exhibition, a vinyl record with a recording of French actress Louise Bourgouin has been released. The record also serves as the exhibition catalog as a folded poster in the sleeve unfold into a real booklet, displaying all informations contained in the exhibition with the painting as a centerpiece.
Both the signage for the exhibition and the impressive vinyl release have been designed by Parisian studio Prototype, using NewParis and Euclid Flex in a very creative and playful way.
NewParis and Euclid Flex are available from Swiss Typefaces.
