Florian Lechner. Eins
Florian Lechner plays with space in all its aspects: wideness and narrowness, gravity and volatility, analog and digital, just to name a few. In his installations and wall objects he changes how the spectator perceives a space and creates new spaces, even impossible ones.
One of Lechner’s series is titled Raumskizze (“spatial sketches”) as they appear like an unfolded drawing placed in a room. They convey the impression, that they are not physical but virtual objects. The layout of Lechner’s publication Eins (“One”) echoes this impression by weaving together the catalog texts like a tapestry – showcasing Lechner’s notorious use of lowercase Helvetica – that transmits Lechners sculptures once more into spatiality.
The typography of the publication uses Neue Helvetica throughout.
Rooted in editorial design and journalism, my work centers around visual storytelling. My artist books are driven by an intensive personal dialogue between artist and designer, verbally and creatively. Having had the great pleasure to have been invited into the archives and production of the artists, I help translating the artworks, mindset and process into a book object.
