Pass It On. Private Stories, Public Histories is a follow up to the exhibition of the same name, which took place at FOTODOK from November 2020–February 2021. As the show largely happened during a lockdown, FOTODOK wanted to find alternative ways to open it up to our audience. We created a virtual tour where visitors could immerse themselves in the digital space. We also developed a platform that would provide a much-needed personal and tactile experience of the works. In other words—we translated the exhibition into printed matter.

If you were unable to visit the show, it can now travel to you instead. ‘Pass It On’ is a collection of unbound materials. They are folded and brought together so that they can be “read” in a linear way, just like a book. But they can also be taken apart and placed on a wall, allowing you to enjoy a private exhibition at your own home or workspace. While deciding upon the publication’s form, we also considered the environment: a silkscreened box case is simultaneously the work’s cover and its mailing package. - Meteoro Editions
