An enigmatic student exhibition catalog defies many conventions of book design— Klaus Rinke’s Wppt

Disclaimer: I have to apologize for my right hand looking particularly gnarly! I just had stitches removed from my fingers and I am very much in the process of healing. Ep. 6 — Students from the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf were invited to stage an exhibition in the city of Wuppertal, Germany. The exhibition catalog challenges many traditional conventions of book design. Wppt asks the reader to critically engage not only with its content, but its oblique methods of design; producing a far more engaging and memorable experience compared to a purely didactic approach. --- BOOK DETAILS Title: Wppt Publisher: Kunstakademie Düsseldorf Location: Germany Designer: Unknown Year: 1978 --- ABOUT THE CHANNEL A Book, an Axis is a forum to study, share, and discuss books that I love from my growing library. Although I collect books on a wide variety of subjects, I only buy books that I believe are well designed. This channel is a space for me to share not only the subjects of those books, but to analyze their design and production. I hope you enjoy this labor of love and would welcome your thoughts. --- CONNECT & FOLLOW • Web: abook.tv • Instagram: @book.axis
