Firstsite

Camulodunum

Exhibition Graphics, Printed Material and Publication

As the inaugural show at Firstsite, Colchester Camulodunum questioned how history is recovered, represented and re-enacted. Works by international artists were juxtaposed with pieces from the local museum's collection. Taking reference from iron age coins, Roman typography, and archaeological surveys, we produced a publication documenting the exhibition alongside photographs, posters, and artefacts from Colchester's colourful history. Swiss binding paired with a gold foiled cover set off this idea of the combination of old and new.
