Brasilia #4 – Töchter und Söhne

von , , , , , , , , ,

Where do we come from, and where will it all lead? For millennia, people have philosophised about their origins and the consequences of their family relationships. They have recorded their thoughts in the greatest works of world literature. In this fourth issue of Brasilia, designers search for small answers to these large life questions. Alexandra Panzert introduces the children of the Bauhaus and their careers, which could hardly be more contradictory. Photographers Mario Wezel and Suwah Lee visit fatherless daughters and sons at the Arctic Circle and in Southeast Asia. Katharina Krämer dreams of Spiderman riding a unicorn; Sebastian Moock examines his typographical forbears. While Jens Mahlstedt is bored with the descendants of musical masterpieces being played at the Berghain nightclub, Beate Spalthoff is inspired by a baby’s plate to start a relationship with a hairy daughter. On the following pages, Brasilia may shed new light on an old topic or provide a few entertaining moments while you read. In any case, this colourful issue again shows the diversity of our Brasilia family. We hope you can relate!
