The Book As

Unreadable Text: typo bilder buch

Another example of "modern hieroglyphics," Romano Hänni's 2012 typo bilder buch presents a book adroitly printed on paper towels and composed of unicode symbols. The sleek, crisp, and modern pages seem to both allude to ancient human cave paintings, with simple human forms and frequent animal imagery, while simultaneously defying them by including thin lines and a plethora of computer-readable symbols. Although a narrative may possibly be found within the pages, typo bilder buch is comparatively less linear than Book from the Ground, and a bit harder to interpret. Each page, comprised of familiar symbols and printed on a familiar material, remains a complex collage of unfamiliar components.
