On Plants
Typojanchi 2019: 6th International Typography Biennale
On Plants is a multisensory installation that reimagines language through the interplay of light, sound, and typography. Letters circulate between spaces and non-spaces, forming a continuous landscape that invites viewers to engage in a visual stroll. The installation includes two parts: Type Forest and Variable Type Show. Type Forest brings together nine writing systems—Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, Thai, Hebrew, Devanagari, Chinese, Kana, and Hangeul—into a typographic environment where scripts coexist beyond cultural boundaries. Variable Type Show presents a motion-graphic film made with adjustable variable fonts, offering a visual and auditory experience to viewers seated on bean bags within the space.
Publication
PLANE AND VERTICAL
PLANE AND VERTICAL is a design studio and publisher based in Seoul. The studio was founded in 2019, followed by the launch of our publishing imprint in 2021. We work across a wide range of materials and technologies – from the flat to the spatial, from form to context.
We have a deep interest in addressing and responding to the issues of our time through design, publishing, and other creative practices. Our work focuses on identifying and capturing the various potentials of visual language around the intersection of culture, industry, and art.
Our practice in artistic publishing that resembles bas–relief sculpture aims to amplify marginalized voices and shed light on overlooked phenomena in society. 
By bringing together artists, scholars, writers, architects, and designers, we cultivate a collaborative synergy that allows us to engage deeply with independent communities, explore contemporary topics in unconventional ways, and continually pose questions to ourselves—as a living manifesto.
