Das Buch setzt sich analog zu den musikalischen Teilen der Oper aus einzelnen Heften zusammen und umfasst nicht nur eine ausführliche grafische Visualisierung des Librettos in Beziehung zum Inhalt dieser Oper und der Musik, sondern erfüllt auch mit Partitur und Audio CD die Eigenschaften des exklusiven Album Artworks. Das Album Package enthält in einem umschließenden Einband zwei Bücher (das visualisierte und dramaturgisch bearbeitete Libretto und die Partitur), eine Karte über die Handlung der Oper und eine Audio CD. Die grafische Gestaltung ist maßgeschneidert, alles wurde selbst produziert. Von den Bilder die mit einer selbstgebauten digitalen Lochkamera hergestellt wurden, um nicht Sichtbares wieder sichtbar zu machen, bis zur Erfindung und Anwendung einer sich morphenden Schrift, die innerhalb eines Stücks den Inhalt markieren.

Dem Rezipienten soll ermöglicht werden, eine eigenständige Aufführung abseits der Opernbühne bei gleichzeitigem Hören der Musik zu erleben.

Auflage: 5 Stück, 2011

The concept of the graphic design class's exhibition in the MAK focused on the theme of »communication guerilla« in a multilayered fashion. The works of the individual students have been deliberately de-placed and instead positioned throughout the museum in stark contrast to other classes and their works. Despite the decentralised and diverse medial interpretations the class's projects are recognised as part of the all encompassing theme through light blue tiles covered in rubber granulate positioned around them. Visitors will not immediately recognize the typography on these light blue tiles, instead these will be exposed gradually by the close observer, which ultimately will spread a blue trace throughout the rooms and the entire museum transforming the observer into active participants.

The identity for »The Essence 07«, annual exhibition of the University of Applied Arts Vienna in the MAK was dedicated to the search for unknown images with science-based picturing methods. During the layout process the value of art was questioned and examined in different ways. The starting point, a random 10 EUR bill, was abstracted from its original context by different methods of representation until it was hardly recognisable. Only the star in the lower left corner reveals the origin of the motif. The bill sets the stage on which in the end neon-glowing worms suddenly buzz in a dark nocturnal landscape.

The cover series discusses the political shift of the famous swiss magazine in the last couple of years. On the second page of the magzine the cover is printed once again—this time in its accurate position—together with a revocatory declaration. The project was presented in the exhibition »what the world needs« at the Forum Mozartplatz in Vienna and on www.wasbrauchtdiewelt.net
