Description

What does the rusted hedge trimmer tell us about the writer Roland Meyer? The binoculars about the writer Lex Jacoby? All these things do not end up as trash, but become treasured exhibits for an exhibition at the National Literature Centre. They are documented and treasured. Six exhibition catalogues with different topics in a 240 x 300 mm format are collected in an archive box with a magnetic latch. The box weighs 2.5 kg. The descriptions are in German and French.

Statement of the jury

When connected with the corresponding texts and personalities, exciting and compelling stories emerge from what may at first glance seem to be arbitrary objects. An interesting exhibition concept, suitably backed up by the accompanying catalogues and their consistently executed archival design.
