Gunvor Hofmo is considered one of the leading Norwegian writers of her generation and has remained an important voice in Norwegian modernism. «Ja er det korteste ordet I verden» (“Yes is the shortes word in the world”) is an exhibition for the National Library of Norway to celebrate Hofmo’s 100th anniversary as a writer. The exhibition features seven poems referring to seven different aspects of Gunvor Hofmo’s life and work, in which we have used color and form to create a unique atmosphere to each one. A clean and firm typography, combining clear lines and geometric shapes adds to the literary theme of the exhibition.
