2020 – The Criterion Collection

Parasite

Packaging and cover design for Parasite by Bong Joon Ho for The Criterion Collection.

With such a dense film like Parasite there were multiple conceptual routes we wanted to explore: Class hierarchy and the vertical ascension to / fall from wealth. Morse code as communication. Windows and looking through the lens of the ‘grass is always greener’. Decalcomania (the original title of the film) and the concept of imperfect symmetry.

The packaging contains a die-cut slipcover using morse code which spells out Parasite.
