Uzi as Bauhaus product, Koby Barhad and Noa Schwartz, KN studio

Poster – Design: KN-studio

About the exhibition: During a stay in Weimar, Yochai Avrahami learned that Uzi Gal, inventor of the Uzi sub-machine gun, had been born in Weimar as Gotthard Glas. Embarking on a detective-like mission, he began to trace Uzi’s past, the house in which he grew up, the places where he worked and studied, and his branching family ties. The point of departure for the process was the idea that the Uzi weapon, known for its clean, modern design, inherited the Bauhaus “genes.”

About the design: An manipulation of Joost Schmidt’s Bauhaus poster to suit the new form of the Uzi weapon. The booklet was designed using Futura and Aachen – a combination of modern in a militant context. English and Hebrew (compatibility)
