LetterScapes
Der Thames & Hudson Verlag präsentiert sein neues Buch LetterScapes, eine Hommage an große Buchstaben! Eine globale Studio über typografische Installationen auf der ganen Welt, von über 40 Künstlern.
Pressetext: Today we are bombarded with words – public spaces are saturated with a discordant mix of messages. But sometimes a sentence, a word or even a single letter can stop us in our tracks. LetterScapes features thirty-seven such works from all over the world, by artists and designers with large international followings. Photographs, maps and diagrams explore each project in detail, and an introduction highlights the cultural importance and common themes of the works featured. Interviews with key designers provide a personal insight into why they chose words over images to transmit their message, how the locations for their work are chosen, how they selected the material and the typeface, and how they think their work connects with its particular landscape or setting.
