Motion Design
BackgroundWhispers on the Horizon sets the tone for a visual identity shaped by attentiveness rather than assertion. Our design grows from the exhibition’s landscape of yearning, historical sediment and architectural presence — a context that resists simple translation. We developed a system that works through clarity and restraint, allowing the nuances of the newly commissioned and site-specific works to surface without being overshadowed. The identity remains flexible enough to follow the exhibition’s many voices while offering a calm structural frame. In this balance of openness and precision, the design echoes the curatorial approach and lets the Biennial’s atmosphere unfold on its own terms.
Our visual identity translates the atmosphere of quiet tension into a clear, responsive design.
Calm motion fragments clash and reconfigure, hinting at rupture and emergence. This marks a shift towards a more experimental and forward-looking energy, presenting the Biennale as a space of transformation and speculative play.

Typographic pairing
For the Latin texts we selected Exposure (205TF) to establish a stronger, more distinctive typographic signature that resonates with the Biennale’s themes of precision and poetic fragility.
GenWanMin is a contemporary Taiwanese Ming-style serif with open counters and subtly rounded terminals, perfectly balancing tradition and legibility.
Its moderate stroke weight and pronounced contrast harmonize with Exposure’s serif details, creating a cohesive visual dialogue between Latin and Chinese text.
