Fuego FUEGO

"Mit dem Feuer ists ja so bestellt: Erlischt es, kannst du dich zum Sterben hinlegen; flammts ohne Maßen auf, vernichtet und verschlingt es alles, bis zum bittren Ende."

The volume deals with the element fire. Color photographs of burning book pages, which show a text passage from Tatjana Tolstaja’s novel "Kys" in German translation are the backgrounds in this volume. The photographs are offset printed and later on overprinted in letterpress with the Tolstaja texts ones again. The result is an overlapping of the two text levels. Photography, design and letterpress: Ines von Ketelhodt. White and black paper, 104 pages (64 of them are empty black pages), printed paperboard. Flörsheim am Main 2004.
