Unfortunate Coordinates - Booklet
- Project: Booklet of Vincent Zedelius’ photographs
- What: Design
- Photo's: Vincent Zedelius
Design for a booklet of Vincent Zedelius’ photographs of Otzenrath, a ghost town in Germany. The inhabitants were evacuated in 1999 to make way for the Garzweiler 2 open-cast mine, and the book explores the abandoned streets and crumbling houses. The outside cover is plain white, the inside the same colour as Die Blauen Bücher series of books published in Germany in the 1930s: typological studies of towns, architecture, people and cultures. The use of this very German colour blue along with the blank pages echo the strange emptiness of the abandoned town in North Rhine-Westphalia.
