Anthropocene chronicles the irreversible impact of humans on the planet on a geological scale. Our studio designed a flexible but rigid design system for the book, which was used to print three languages (English, French, Italian) simultaneously through a single-colour plate change on press. The book coincided with a major international exhibition which opened simultaneously at the AGO, the National Gallery of Canada, as well as the release of a film on the same topic by Baichwal and de Pencier.
