A book-fair’s reader becomes signage and vice versa. 📖 IT’S A BOOK 2017
Reader for the Independent Publishing Fair It’s a Book in Leipzig. The reader was conceived as a physical enhancement and representation of the fair and it’s symposium. Single pages were scaled up and used as signage, bringing the book into public, social and cultural space and vice versa – the essential theme of the accompanying symposium.

(☮︎) 🔄 NEW PEACE SYMBOL
[as proposed to the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt]
The CND symbol, commonly known as the peace symbol designed by G. Holtom combines a circle with simplified flag semaphore symbols for the letters N (two flags held 45° down on both sides) and D (two flags, one up and one down) – standing for (N)uclear (D)isarmament.

Based on its past composition the new symbol elaborates its literal meaning by combining any possible letter combination. Whether it stands for No Borders! or Close Borders!, for No more War or Fight for Freedom, for Free Water or Free Market, for Gender Equality, Freedom of Speech or simply Love. It stands for no final definition of peace and an ever changing re-orientation towards an assumed better future.
