What happens to the creative memory of a graphic designer? Five Belgian graphic designers exceptionally open the doors to their archives, where the past and present coexist. We visit Miche Wynants, Michel Olyff, Luk Mestdagh, Base Design and Atelier Brenda. The documentary takes us on a visual journey through workspaces and storage areas.
As a viewer, you delve into boxes, filing cabinets and digital folders containing decades of iconic designs. Unlabeled bears witness to a human—and sometimes urgent—quest to preserve the value of creative heritage in an era of digital transience.
Is what is not preserved lost forever?
