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.

PLANE AND VERTICAL’s secondary brand, Soft Hard is an experimental, multilingual publication that serves as both a newsletter and a creative playground for cultural workers. Each issue invites a wide range of professionals—designers, architects, artists, curators, writers, and independent publishers, among others—from diverse cultural backgrounds. The publication features a loose and non-linear structure, along with a quick turnaround time, in an effort to remain fresh and relevant to our constantly evolving interests and circumstances.
Founded and published by Yuseon Park and Immanuel Yang of PLANE AND VERTICAL. Soft Hard will soon be launching a new form of platform.

Soft Hard 1: Folding Anouk Beckers’ Work   (Close)
For this Soft Hard 1, Anouk developed a contribution on pages 1–8, inviting you to cut the dashed lines printed in silver ink, fold the paper, observe the new compositions, pleat, find, and play.  

아눅 베커스는 은색 잉크로 인쇄된 점선을 따라 잘라내고, 종이를 접으며, 구성된 모습을 관찰하고 주름을 잡아가는 놀이적 작업을 제안합니다.

Anouk Beckers experiments in modular thinking and design as a way to open up seemingly fixed structures. Most of her research-based works revolve around collectivity and result from collaborations with makers and thinkers from various fields. Her works range from workshops to publications and installations. She initiated the open-source modular clothing system JOIN Collective Clothes (2019) and the wearable fashion magazine series Booklook (2022).
In 2023–2024, Anouk participated in the residency program at Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht (NL). During this research period, she developed works that disassemble compositions into individual parts and steps. By reshaping and shuffling various components, she explores how these elements and structures can be changed or reimagined. Openings in her designs invite interaction and collaborative engagement with the systems they belong to. Anouk studied Textiles and Fashion at Gerrit Rietveld Academie (NL) and Social Psychology at Utrecht University (NL).

아눅 베커스는 고정된 구조를 해체하고 재구성하는 모듈식 사고와 디자인을 실험하는 아티스트입니다. 그녀의 연구 기반 작업은 집합성과 다양한 제작자와의 협업에서 비롯되며, 워크숍, 출판물, 설치 작업 등으로 표현됩니다. 주요 작업으로는 오픈 소스 모듈 의류 시스템 JOIN Collective Clothes (2019)와 착용형 패션 매거진 시리즈 Booklook (2022)이 있습니다. 네덜란드 게릿 리트펠트 아카데미에서 섬유 및 패션을, 위트레흐트 대학교에서 사회심리학을 전공했고, 2023–2024년에는 네덜란드 얀반에이크 아카데미 레지던시 프로그램에 참여했습니다.
