Théo Hennequin

Théo Hennequin is a Brussels-based graphic designer and visual artist with a conceptually driven practice spanning culture, music and sport. He collaborates with institutions, artists, festivals and collectives, from major museums to independent structures, to articulate distinctive positions across print, digital and motion.

His practice is rooted in the circulation of images and forms between swiss rigour, experimental layering and popular cultures, from the football stand to the mountain trail, using the distance between them as a space for inquiry.

About

Berliner Mauer

2019

Font: Kaffi (ECAL Typefaces)

Berliner Mauer commemorates the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. The project takes the form of a poster turned sculpture and a bilingual book, Le Mur de Berlin – Drôles d’histoires (Die Wand von Berlin – Komische Geschichten), which brings together a chronology, testimonies and archive photographs.

The poster becomes a volumetric object: mounted on a block of raw material, it takes on the physical, monumental presence of a fragment of the Wall and reactivates the sensory and memorial experience of the place. The title, in angular capitals with a Gothic feel, rises in perspective like a partition and casts its shadow over two dates carved in stone, lying on the ground. This volume sharpens the sense of fracture, separation and passage.

In the book, black and white share the page like the two sides of a wall: the German text reversed out of broad black blocks, the French on a white ground. The archive photographs, in a coarse halftone, are packed into grids on one page, facing a single image alone in the white.
