Poster Design & Letterpress print
Collections. Where do they start and where do they stop? What can you collect at all? Is collecting only collecting, if you do it consciously or can you unconsciously own a collection?
For me collections are omnipresent and they start with the most inconspicuous things. That's why I turned my household upside down and searched all the bottles I could find.
After that, the bottles were analyzed for every last detail and a variety of different ways of presentation were tried out.
The letterpress poster shows a part of my bottle collection. The focus is on filling volumes in relation to the actual filling quantity, the occasion in which the liquid is drunk and the most common bottle colors. The printing block consists of hand-cut circles of gray cardboard, the edges of which are treated with superglue to resemble wine glass imprints on a tablecloth, and laser-cut cardboard letters.
