Table Poems

How does meaning arise and what happens when texts find themselves in other contexts?

Table Poems shows the tables of contents of 63 books, which have been put into a new framework both in terms of content and typographical means. It is an attempt to re-contextualize content, as well as a focus on the embellishment of a book. The result is a poetic examination of tables of contents so that they become the protagonist, the content and ultimately the book itself.

Table Poems was designed as a student project for the semester topic “Table of Content” in the typography class at the HGB Leipzig. Apoc and Suisse Int’l are used throughout.
