Project: Book Concept and Design
For: Margot Zanni
Date: Summer 2007
Design: Urs Lehni and Corinne Zellweger

While the content of Margot Zanni's «The Locations» is monographic, the book's structure is more akin to that of an artists' publication. Trying to translate ideas from different sources (video, photography and installation) into sequences of words and images that still reflect the original meaning was the main challenge during the design process, that was lead in close cooperation with the artist. In her work, Margot Zanni is mainly concerned with the discrepancy between medial and real places and she often wittily plays with our preconception of such places. A good example for this method is a set of ready-made postcards from well known movie locations such as Twin Peaks or Zabriskie Point, with the difference that Zanni shows us how these places look in «real life». In a reproduced version this ready-made is included in the book.
