The exhibition „This is no Life-Saving Device“ at 1822-Forum in Frankfurt examines inflatable floatation devices as sculptures that negotiate the boundaries between the body, material, and shaped nature. It explores the promise of safety and lightness and its dissolution, as air, form, and control escape.
The catalog uses typography to depict the transformation of plastic objects at lakeside resorts.
The exhibition poster plays with the same transformative momentum, almost becoming one of the deflated floaties itself.
