In his new project „Baraques – Berührungen“, french artist Denis Guillomo discovered a new way of placing his art. Instead of using regular canvas and oil, he uses his 50 square meter studio-wall to arrange many small objects made of plastic, wood and tape to a new total work of art.
The design of this documentation-book picks up the idea of arranging and re-arranging Denis’ works and transforms the big studio-wall to the smaller paper-sheets. In a kind of circuit, the reader/viewer is guided from the close-ups of the single parts with their special atmosphere over the re-arrangements of the artworks to a written analysis of Denis’ work in the middle of the book. From here, the book goes backwards and brings the reader/viewer out in the same way, he came in – but with the knowledge what the project is about. Also important for the design was the projects subline „Berührungen“ (touches) that can be found in the use of white space and the relation between the objects on the sheets.
