Set design for the annual Harvest Festival, 2013, Zanka, Hungary.
Idea
The exhibition contains 8 illustrations about the steps of wine making. The illustrations are surrounded by the growing canopy of the grapevine. The idea was to show the works involved throughout the year with the changes in the colour of the wine leaves showing the passing of the year. I also created the explanation panel for each illustration by cutting paper.
The illustrations are built of layeres that create a 3D illusion. Over 800 leaves were cut and folded for the growing plant on the two sides of the wall.
