Ferdinand Kriwet: Stars

Ferdinand Kriwet

0/5 ( ratings)

Pioneering media artist and concrete poet Ferdinand Kriwet’s 1971 cult artist’s book in a facsimile edition A monumental, three-volume encyclopedia of alphabetically organized images, Ferdinand Stars was first published by Kiepenheuer & Witsch in 1971. In the 1960s, German author and media artist Ferdinand Kriwet , inspired by concrete poetry and its interest in the visual quality of linguistic signs, began to approach the literary medium of the book in a new way. Imagining new ways of reading that resisted linearity, Kriwet experimented with alternatives, encouraging a rapid back-and-forth between the pages of the book and the texts and images on them. In Stars , he treats images like words and arranges them in alphabetical order in an epic encyclopedia format.

For years, Stars has only been available, at considerable cost, in antiquarian book catalogs. This new facsimile edition of Ferdinand Stars brings Kriwet's pioneering vision and his seminal book back into print.
