Personal
This photobook is an art piece that explores the incomplete verse narrative of Muspilli, an Old High German poem. The book explores the themes of the narrative with the art of the black hole, both of which have a rich German history.
01
Schwarze Löcher: Black Holes. The cover announces the book's dual subject before a single page is turned: an unfinished Old High German poem and the most consuming force in the universe. Sparse type, deep field, and a title that earns its weight.
02
Interior spreads place fragments of Muspilli against full-bleed astrophotography. Neither the verse nor the image fully explains the other. The pacing is slow and deliberate, asking the reader to sit inside the incompleteness rather than resolve it.
03
The colophon closes the book on a quiet note: typeface, paper, sources, and acknowledgements set with the same care as the interior. A physical object earns its credibility in the details, and this one closes without apology.
