Farben - Alphabet

This publication combines two works by Austrian artist Heimo Zobernig (1958, Mauthen). Farben is a self–publication originally made in 1987, in which the artist plays with the dimensions and order of a book signature comprised of 16 folded pages. Alphabet is a set of unedited photographs that document the alphabet the artist composed over the course of 26 separate exhibitions. The nature of these works – which both experiment with sequential logic – and the resonances between the two have led us to publish them together in a single book for the first time.
