Mapamundi MAPAMUNDI

The volume’s basis are color postcards from different parts of the world, printed in offset, as well as all geographical terms extracted from Borges’ "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius". They were fit into the volume in alphabetical order and, together with various images (printed black onto the colored backgrounds) form an imaginary map-system of Tlön. Used were polymer-plates, brass-rules and handset types. Design, handset and letterpress: Peter Malutzki. Bookprinting paper, 108 pages, paperboard with artificial lizard skin. Lahnstein 2000.
