Silke Wagner. A Work is a Work is a Work – Portraits

This catalog takes classic book design as its reference for form and appearance much more so than a visually aggressive artist monograph. This came organically, from an extensive critical examination of Silke Wagner’s works. The core of the publication consists entirely of texts, with the numerous illustrations housed in two nine-page leporelli which unfold from the inside covers. This allows for a seamless experience of the text and its corresponding illustrations, eliminating any back and forth between the two.
