Poster design for the exhibition Thomas Mann’s—The Magic Mountain. Feverdream and Altitude rush shown at the Buddenbrookhaus hosted in the St. Annen Museum in Lübeck from 09.13.24 until 03.02.2025. The poster reflects the atmosphere of the seven exhibitions rooms the visitor has to pass and creates a link to the different visual filters used in the exhibition.

Thomas Mann’s—The Magic Mountain. Feverdream and Altitude rush talks about the central topics and conflicts in the novel: death and life, desire and love, war and peace. The exhibition connects these timeless themes with our present day. The novel, which is set on the eve of the First World War, is as current as ever even a hundred years after its publication: Nationalism, a lack of scientific knowledge, ignorance and hate speech are relevant across all temporal breaks and epochal changes.
