About this piece:
The paper used in
this piece is the arts & culture Zürich program for the month of November
2013.
It represents my
interest not only in the arts and culture but an increased appeal for paper
observation as one of the first things I took to in the Swiss city.
I enjoy collecting
random paper and publicity.
Switzerland has a
long tradition in Typography.
Take for example
the invention of the Helvetica in 1957 by Max Miedinger.
Graphic Design is
also a Swiss forte. It is remarkable how even low budget prints can be visually stunning.
Throwing paper
away seems at times hard to do for someone who is highly visual. However, it is
relieving to know that Swiss people are conscientious when it comes to recycling.
As a matter of fact, there is a designated day and way of disposing paper set by
the Cantonal office and people must comply with it if they want to avoid paying
a fine.
If you walk on
collection day, you will notice the care with which each paper bundle has been
tied and arranged. It could well be an urban art installation .
