Brand Identity

Olympus Photography Playground is a turnkey design and execution project curated by Studio Leigh Sachwitz and created and produced by flora&faunavisions in collaboration with numerous artists in Berlin, Munich, Paris and beyond.

The playground, developed for the technology pioneer Olympus, presented the visitor with a free opportunity to explore and discover multiple art installations and simultaneously learn the features of a new Olympus camera by taking photographs in varying playful scenarios. At the end of the experience, the visitors left with knowledge about the new camera, as well as all their personal images and videos on a SD card.

Studio Leigh Sachwitz sought out, curated and collaborated with local artists to create site-specific art installations for the playground and, working in close collaboration, flora&faunavisions was responsible for the execution of the turn-key exhibition which involved production of the art installations in collaboration with the artists, as well as being responsible for the exhibition design and signage and it´s execution. The visual identity and website for the first editions were designed by flora&faunavisions in collaboration with Stahl R.

Insights

The Olympus Photography Playground really was about creating a overall vision for site-specific spaces and bringing artists together in an inspiring place where they could work together to make the exhibition come to life. It was amazing to see the energy that arose and we personally grew from the challenges that we faced and the successes that we experienced from the project.
