Félicie Haymoz spent a whole year designing the human characters for Isle of Dogs, a stop-motion-animated science-fiction film written, produced and directed by Wes Anderson. A year of daily email exchanges with the filmmaker in Paris she created the characters set in a dystopian near-future Japan.

In this exhibition, a variety of references and design process behind some of her favorite characters from the movie together with original puppets are shown.
