Exhibition "Russians Jews Germans"

We designed the exhibition media and the photo book for Michael Kerstgens’ long-term project "Jewish Life in Germany since 1992", which documents the immigration of Russian-speaking Jews. For the exhibition Berlin Transit at the Jewish Museum Berlin, we developed the graphics and book design. The publication Neues Leben, Russen Juden Deutsche with 126 photographs accompanies the exhibition with clear, understated typography. The hardcover was published by Kehrer Verlag.
