In a one-week seminar led by Prof. Dr. Pablo Abend at the Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule Halle, the course participants took an in-depth look at Marc Augé's theory of “non-places”. In addition to reading and discussing the texts together, the participants also went in search of “non-places” in the vicinity of the university, conducted on-site field studies, and formulated their own essays on these places, recording what makes them “non-places” according to Augé's definition. The results, photographs and source documents from the seminar, were then compiled into a publication for the annual exhibition by Marie Teigler and Jakob Nonnen and published by the Design Studies Department of Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule Halle.

Baghira by Identity Letters in its Regular style was chosen for the titles and markups and Archive Grotesk by Scifipoetry for the main text.
