The Austrian artist Katharina Stiglitz asks questions about processes of perception, memory and transience. Using photography, drawing and installation, Stiglitz explores the boundaries of the visible. Her mostly monochrome works leave fading traces of what was once there and create connections to oblivion, presence and absence. The design of the book takes up this artistic exploration and moves within the same monochrome spectrum. The jet black cover bears the almost immaterial book title, which oscillates between readability and illegibility. Prominent brackets mark empty spaces and shine in silver. Black and white contrasts inside and the change from smooth to rough or from hard to soft paper in the middle of the book allude to Stiglitz's ongoing search for the 'in-between'. The prose miniatures by Katharina J. Ferner are printed on silver pages and are interspersed throughout the work section. They light up again and again like interstellar parallel worlds and break the flow of reading to refocus attention. The otherwise restrained graphic design creates the greatest possible space for the impact and visual experience of Katharina Stiglitz's works.
