Book design
A book which comes in three parts plus an index. As Sandick puts it: ‘Nothing is ever the same, for what I see today may seem entirely different tomorrow. The formal object I observe is a shape that bears an identity, a character that I can relate to and that manifests itself in fresh ways each time I see it. That turns them into landmarks* in the world I set out into. And to which I return. Always in a different manner. Going back does not mean standing still, even if it feels that way at times. Until I spot something I hadn’t known before, and find that I can return and move forward at the same time.
*Landmarks: objects that I know and do not know.’
*Landmarks: objects that I know and do not know.’
This publication plays with the conceptual idea that images can return and have a different meaning. A zooming in and out, a rotation in time and place, a returning but with different meaning. The monumental structures you think you have seen before but by keeping the design and edit structured and minimal, everything has its place where it is. However subtle it may initially appear. You could even think there is not an order as such; all to keep returning to it as if it were a first encounter.
