Kurhäuser

This series of posters presented in Spicebag at Backhaus Projects in Berlin combine the aesthetics of medical posters found in G.P. surgeries, hospitals and other care setting and stock imagery with cures and advice for general well-being found in archives of folk medicine and regional practices.

In general, the posters are titled after the cure’s citation in the folklore archives but the information is distilled and abstracted from its origin when presented in a poster to a contemporary audience creating a disjoint between familiarity and absurdity.
