beautiful PAPER beautiful BOOKS NO PAPER NO BOOKS, Tina De Souter, 2023
recommended by Tina De Souter
For the AMAP of Fedrigoni (Another Month Another Paper) I created a small booklet full of information on books and paper. It includes how paper is made, what different papers exist, how to use paper in books, the anatomy of books, binding methods, etc.
I call it 'a little bible on paper and books'.

Zeitgeist, Jonathan Puckey, 2006
recommended by Didier Deschrijver
Zeitgeist (2006) by Jonathan Puckey (in collaboration with Peter Ström), starts from a simple observation: online news is never finished. It is continuously updated: headlines are rewritten, articles expanded, emphases shifted.
The work captures this instability by translating it back into a fixed form: the newspaper.
Rather than presenting news in a conventional way, it collects data from an article published on Foxnews.com and reworks it into a typographic system. Over a 24-hour period, the homepage is recorded and all changes are layered into a single image. Additions appear as new text, while deletions are marked in red strikethrough. Headlines from different media covering the same story are compared. Frequently repeated words begin to fade, while new or altered terms stand out. This exposes how headlines are constantly rewritten, often to improve visibility in search engines.
For me, the work shifts the focus away from the news itself to the way it is produced. By capturing headlines over time, it reveals how they evolve as new information comes in. The editorial process becomes visible: an online publication is not a final state, but an ongoing construction.
There is a clear tension here. The newspaper format suggests stability and closure, while the content it contains remains in flux.
Zeitgeist makes that contradiction tangible. It reveals what usually stays hidden: the continuous rewriting behind what we perceive as 'news.' In that sense, it connects to what I described in Rafael Rozendaal’s work; it operates between two layers, not the content itself, but the structure and process that produce it.
