exhibition catalogue
innsbruck 2009

the place is characterised by a combination of odour, light, colour and lettering: bright colourful type, cast metal letters, names engraved in plaster, messages and paintings sprayed on surfaces capture the characteristic visual scent of a city. you don't perceive them as shapes but as information. you read the signs but fail to identify their messages. in the interplay of their shapes and forms they are tiny time-capsules, narrative echoes of the era in which they were created. anecdotes relating to a building and its location. in the book »alphabet innsbruck« these hidden stories become visible.
