Verlorener Morgen

“Verlorener Morgen” is a novel about a whole country: Romania. It’s history is marked by suffering in many different ways and decades, the book concentrates on the World War I and the 1980s. But the protagonists are strong, especially the women. This strength becomes almost tangible in the form of three strong and impasto stripes of color – the Romanian flag – which cover up the gray reality in the photo behind.

Ziegel #16

A large shiny field of orange-red metallic hot foil reflects the light. Inside, bold, almost tapering letters form the word “brick”. Above, an angry, panting wolf. The first edition of the newly designed Hamburg yearbook for literature brings together poetry and fiction by almost fifty Hamburg authors as well as illustrations by Line Hoven. The book – whether cover or spine – attracts attention and makes you curious to look inside and lose yourself in the various texts.

Stefan Beuse: Das Buch der Wunder

The siblings Penny and Tom are very different: Penny is open for every kind of magic, Tom always needs a scientific explanation. But then more and more inexplicable things happen and the border between the visible and the invisible world becomes permeable. The forest on the cover is a place of longing and attraction: a light and powerful paradise that can also turn into a dense, dark and mysterious space.

Karin Rocke: Autum/Winter 2017/2018

“Clean Lines” is the title of the latest collection by Karin Rocke: The pieces impress with their striking silhouettes, graphic elements and strong colors as well as exquisite materials that only unfold their full sense of well-being on your skin. The key colors, a soft cherry blossom pink and a rich ruby red, frame the collection – as do the colored geometric fields behind and around the photographs, which give the paper an architectural dimension.
