Flygfänas skog. Illustration möter rumslighet på barn och ungdomssjukhuset i Lund
Flygfänas skog is a project where illustration meets spatiality. The work is about how section 62of the Children and Youth Hospital (BUS), at Skåne University Hospital, in Lund can useillustration as a compliment to their premises. Today, the hospital has difficulties to deal with theolder children patients at the hospital in a good way because the expression that is there today,mostly only appeals to the younger patients. Previously, there has been some kind of decorationon the department and the staff thought that this is boring, is a problem in that in many placesthere are stickers of child characters posted on the walls. This and other installations that cut outletters, face off, and symbols have made sense in the department becomes fragmented, ill andchildish. Many of the elderly patients are therefore not equal to-diction to the Department.Because the department has many seriously ill patients who are hospitalized for an extendedperiod would therefore find a design that feels relevant to every age group. The department hasalready teamed up with furniture studio Swedish Ninja who has developed furniture for thedepartment's dining room and entrance. My project has been about being able to contribute tothe change in section 62 by way of illustration to the entrance. After discussions with the projectmanager Ann Elmqvist Frihd the theme for the illustrations became nature with the goal offinding an expression that can appeal to even the older kids.
