Nicolai Howalt Exhibition / Planetarium Copenhagen / Design, Layout & Final Artwork
In a time of great technological leaps and climatic upheavals, Mars represents the next steppingstone for humanity’s expansion into space. In A Journey: 
The Near Future, Danish artist Nicolai Howalt depicts our yet-to-be-explored red neighbour, nearly 63 million kilometres away. Howalt’s work takes its starting point in the photographic panoramas captured on the surface of Mars by the NASA-rovers Curiosity, Perseverance, Spiritand Opportunity.
Curved gallery wall with framed abstract artworks featuring horizontal textures, modern concrete ceiling and floor, and two benches.
Poster for a new exhibition by Nicolai Howalt featuring a grayscale rocky landscape with a large silver sphere and text about a journey to the near future at Planetarium.
Black and white landscape resembling a rocky, barren planet surface with text announcing a new exhibition by Nicolai Howalt titled 'Planetarium' and subtitle 'A journey: The near future' in Danish.
The modular poster series translates Howalt’s panoramic Mars landscapes into 
a flexible visual system. By fragmenting and reassembling the imagery, the design reinforces the sense of vastness and horizon, allowing the posters to read collectively as one landscape or independently as standalone works.

The planetarium’s circular ground floor, cast 
in raw concrete, was ideal for Howalt’s photographic panoramas and enhanced the sense of an eternal horizon.
