“Das Besondere Buch” takes Margaret W. Brown’s children’s book “The Important Book” as its starting point and reinterprets it in its own, expanded form. The work is intended as an attempt to question and broaden conventional notions of the design and function of children’s books.
At its core is the connection between the artistic and the everyday: The seemingly trivial aspects of everyday life reveal their poetic potential, while art simultaneously becomes something that can be experienced as part of the everyday.
The children’s book emerges as a special space—a medium in which transitions can take place. Here, the artistic and the childlike meet in their closeness to one another. This relationship unfolds not only in the content but also in the interplay of text and image.
