PALIMPSEST
This book uses cut-up original graphics by Peter Malutzki (mostly woodcuts and linocuts with hand-set typography) that appeared as broadsheets in the FlugBlatt-Presse between 1980 and 1984. Now they serve as the background for the first three lines of Samuel Beckett’s poem  What would I do without this world . . .   and are largely covered by the black overprinting. Nonetheless, the multicolored graphic motifs underneath are more or less clearly visible, and are an important part of the book. Overprinting with 24 cicero wood type and their reverse side.

88 pages, 17/32.5 cm, printed paper-over-board with spine title, 35 numbered and signed copies. Flörsheim 2017.
