Plakat HAECKEL Ammonitida orange A2

Louisiana poster with the work Ammonitida (2024) by the German biologist and philosopher Ernest Haeckel, published in connection with the exhibition OCEAN in autumn 2024. The posters are printed on Sirio Pearl Oyster Shell, which gives them a nice mother-of-pearl effect.

The source for the poster comes from the work Nature’s Art Forms (1899-1904) by the German zoologist Ernst Haeckel. Haeckel’s work is a peculiar mixture of scientific investigation, speculation and artistic creation. Today, we know him especially for his beautiful drawings of single-celled organisms, fungi, plants and animals, where he artfully idealizes the symmetrical forms of nature.
