The art biennale Anozero’21—22: Meia-Noite was curated by Elfi Turpin and Filipa Oliveira in Coimbra, Portugal. Coline Sunier and Charles Mazé’s visual identity is based on the combination of two symbols, ○ and /, extracted from Anozero’s existing graphic identity to create a continuity with previous editions. In the designers’ hands, ○ becomes a moon 🌕 and its fluctuations 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔 and / becomes the night ////////// and ////////// its ////////// troubles and uncertainties //////////, evoking the biennale’s curatorial project. From abstraction to narrative: from a circle to the moon (or a disco ball?), from shading to twilight.

All communication materials are set in Charles Mazé’s Mercure (Abyme, 2021), Regular, Italic and Transcript. The choice of a serif typeface gives a literary and scientific aspect to the communication – an echo to the Joanina library in Coimbra and its incarnation of western knowledge – and differentiate the design from the past visual identities of Anozero.
