Wie ich Schwebe
Publication design for photographer Philipp Czampiel
Designed to accompany Philipp Czampiel’s solo exhibition Wie ich Schwebe (06 September – 17 October 2024) at LOCH, Wuppertal, this publication explores themes of weightlessness, transience, and perception. The book features a selection of Czampiel’s black and white photographic works, interspersed with images printed on STAFIX® paper – a statically adhesive material that allows certain photographs to quite literally float within the publication, reinforcing the conceptual thread of “schweben” (to float). The design emphasizes openness and airiness, inviting readers to engage not only with the imagery but also with the spatial qualities of the book itself.
