Samantha Harvey: Orbital
Samantha Harvey encounters life on our planet as you’ve never seen it before, through Booker Prize-winner 2024, Orbital. The novel explores of the fragility of mankind observed by a team of astronauts on the International Space Station, and ‘reflects Harvey’s extraordinary intensity of attention to the precious and precarious world we share’ (Edmund de Waal, Chair of the 2024 Booker Prize judges)
To celebrate the acclaimed reception of Orbital and its powerful lasting impact on the publishing world, JACK ARTS worked with Penguin Random House to install bespoke window murals at The Portobello Bookshop in Edinburgh and Mr B’s Emporium, Bath. The campaign saw the team commission talented local artists KMG and Billy Colours to reimagine the colourful galaxy first designed by Helsinki-based artist Aino-Maija Metsola for the original book-cover.
The bookshop window murals brought the book to life, inviting passers-by to experience the Orbital world from the outside.
