Stevns Klint at the Danish south coast - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - is one of the best places in the world to see traces of the asteroid. An uninvited guest that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs and the origins of humans.
The exhibition is divided into two parts. In the World Heritage Hall, the story is told chronologically. In this playful space visitors go on a multi-sensory exploration and dive into the scientific side of the story. An immersive film tells the story about the dramatic extinction and the survival of life on Earth. The film is partly projected on a huge cut-out of the cliff with the famous Fish Clay layer in the middle.
My role in this project was developing the entire visual design for the exhibition and creating the 300m wallpaper backdrop, including illustrations of animals before and after the asteroid impact.
A large interactive table tells the story of the asteroid impact and its effect on the world. Each step from impact to total darkness is shown on the table. Visitors can either watch the story chronologically or choose a chapter by pressing the large buttons surrounding the table.
