Kubrick's 2001.
50 Years A Space Odyssey

chezweitz’s design is based on the orig­i­nal film, attempt­ing not only to inter­pret Kubrick­’s ideas but also to pro­vide insight into his work. The result is an exhi­bi­tion archi­tec­ture that immers­es vis­i­tors direct­ly in the cos­mic space of the film, both visu­al­ly and the­mat­i­cal­ly. Based on an inten­sive analy­sis of the film, chezweitz devel­oped design ele­ments that are direct­ly derived from the film mate­r­i­al. The col­ors of Kubrick­’s sets, the cir­cu­lar shape of HAL 9000’s red eye, and the film’s font cre­ate unique sce­nar­ios that place the exten­sive orig­i­nal exhibits and props in their his­tor­i­cal con­text.
In four exhi­bi­tion areas, vis­i­tors will dis­cov­er Kubrick­’s Space Odyssey uni­verse as a unique cin­e­mat­ic space. 

We are proud and excit­ed to intro­duce the exhi­bi­tion space ​“INSPIRED BY 2001” on the ground floor of the muse­um, which marks the begin­ning of the exhi­bi­tion. It was designed by sixth- and sev­enth-semes­ter stu­dents of the Frank­furt Acad­e­my of Com­mu­ni­ca­tion and Design in coop­er­a­tion with chezweitz, the Ger­man Film Muse­um, and the design stu­dio 3deluxe.
