Sittig / Gesänge

As with the posters announicng the lectures he held within
the last few years, I helped artist Dominik Sittig to design
a pocket size book of 112 pages gathering these lectures.
To accentuate Dominik Sittig's often exalted and drastic
diction graphically, the whole text in Die Gesänge des Gedärms
is interspersed with countless carefully letter-spaced words and
sentences etc., reminiscent to the typography you'll find in books
by Nietzsche or the like.
The whole design of the book in fact is based on an early version
of the popular and classic booklets by Reclam, as Dominik Sittig's
publications always refer to certain (bygone) layouts and styles.

The book is published by Textem Verlag, Hamburg.
