The visual identity of documenta fifteen
The visual identity of documenta fifteen, which was developed in collaboration with students and presented to the public today, is inspired by lumbung.
With its hands symbol, documenta fifteen’s appearance — developed out of the design concept of the Jakarta student collective Studio 4oo2 — refers to the lumbung principle on which ruangrupa based its documenta. lumbung is all about collective practices of sharing, solidarity, and friendship.
The hands depicted in rope describe a communal society that has no limits and offers a sustainable process for the future. The design’s color palette was adapted from natural fabric dyes used for generations in Indonesia to manufacture traditional textile products. These colors were taken mostly from eastern Indonesia, where lumbung is still practiced.
documenta fifteen presents its visual identity by means of a film clip and within Kassel’s public space. Among other places, it will be visible in the form of a large mural by Kassel graffiti and street art project KolorCubes at ruruHaus, the first venue of documenta fifteen.
