"Spuren"
is a book of the East German Wende. It based on the urban development
plan of Wilhelm-Pieck-Stadt Guben - a vision of urban planning
that did not come true, something that had done itself like so
much in this time. These large sheets of folded architects drawings
with there traces of use are living history. Graphically attractive,
the correct fine lines stand on the mysterious bluish-pink-violet
tone of the Hectographs.
Show through, cover up, paint over - the creation of new facts
was the design idea. Powerful in vivid ductus, the network of
lines will injured and superimposed. The gray of the opposite
sides has an balancing effect and acts helplessness. Gold as transcendent
color and promise is a vision, nothing real. |
