Installation Booklets in 26 languages for the world’s largest public art project, Kcymaerxthaere

Editorial

Project Goal

To develop multilingual art booklets that effectively communicate the cultural contexts and engaging storytelling to the global audience.

Introduction

Kcymaerxthaere is an immersive, parallel universe with 143 installations spanning 30 nations, featured in Ted Talk and BBC. We are entrusted with the ambitious task of creating art booklets in over 20 languages, to celebrate the unique stories and cultural diversity of each installation.

Challenges

To showcase the diverse installations in a cohesive design while coordinating translations and cultural sensitivity across all languages.

Our Approach

  • We created an adaptable design system that allows seamless integration of content in over 20 languages. The system incorporated consistent typography, color schemes, and visual elements to ensure a unified aesthetic across all booklets.
  • We also collaborated with a network of skilled translators and native speakers to ensure accurate translations and cultural sensitivity for each language.
  • Our team also conducted thorough reviews and quality checks to maintain the highest standards of linguistic integrity.

Results

The installation books are distributed to over 20+ countries in their local languages, each with 500+ pages and 151.5 art installations documented. We demonstrated the power of design, storytelling, and cultural sensitivity in creating a successful and impactful art booklet series that transcended language barriers and connected audiences worldwide to the wonder of Kcymaerxthaere.
