_what
poster for the documentary, the garden cadences.
_how
old friend and long standing collaborator, zsuzsanna kiraly asked that we might make a poster for her latest production, the garden cadences, a new film by dane komljen. we've made the posters for two previous films by dane, phantasiesätze and afterwater. we now have a good understanding of each other's work, and this time dane and zsuzsanna trusted us to make any poster we wanted for the film.

mollies is a queer-feminist collective that had been living at a trailer park next to ostkreuz train station in berlin for nearly a decade. the garden cadences documents their last summer there before being evicted. caspar made the poster in berlin after spending hours looking through the smithsonian institute's digital archives.

_what
record sleeve for the los angeles-based band, big black delta.
_how
it's been over a decade now since jonathan bates called us and asked caspar to do all the artwork for a new band he was starting called big black delta. working with jon has been one of the things that has kept caspar sane over the years. when jon sends us new music it's time to put the pencils down, get up from our chairs and dance. these acoustic versions of some of the best big black delta songs were no less effective. the opening lyrics of the new version of "betamax" coming as they are from an older, wiser and more weathered mr. bates, somehow carry more weight than ever before.

the artwork came easy. jon and his team approved the very first draft caspar put together. the idea was to reduce the big black delta imagery to the simplest forms, and let those forms succumb to gravity's pull; as we all do in the end. in this way we hoped the artwork would appear to be as reflective on the past, aging and the nature of all things, as these new songs are.

you can listen to the record's first single here, and you can preorder the vinyl edition here.

_what
poster for the feature film, great photo, lovely life.
_how
director amanda mustard contacted us out of the blue. her debut feature film, a documentary about her family's grim past, was about to premiere on HBO max. she wasn't happy with the posters that had been presented to her so far, and asked if we had any ideas.

the film is dark. it left us breathless at times. we knew we had to somehow touch upon this darkness from the confines of HBO vetted artwork. we presented a range of ideas and amanda chose the one you see here.

caspar made the poster in berlin by printing out many photographs from amanda's family archive and arranging them across a larger print-out of amanda's face. this collage was then itself photographed.

you can watch a trailer for the film here.
