The Paris-based German graphic designer Anette Lenz is one of the most influential designers of our time. Out of a mistrust of commercial advertising, she has developed new strategies for visual communication in public space. Her sometimes anarchic, always fun and experimental play with typography, colour, photography and film has produced extraordinary series of posters, books, exhibition designs and visual identities of several French cities, theaters and museums. In a world of communication that is still male-dominated and determined by economic factors, she always trusted in her own uniqueness, which made her a pioneer of a new generation of graphic designers.
