Johanna Drucker: Diagrammatic Writing (2013)
Filed under artist publishing | Tags: · book, diagram, gestalt theory, graphic design, text, writing
“This is a book that is as close as possible to being entirely about itself.”
Diagrammatic Writing is a poetic demonstration of the capacity of format to produce meaning. The articulation of the codex, as a space of semantically generative relations, has rarely (if ever) been subject to so highly focused and detailed a study. The text and graphical presentation are fully integrated, co-dependent, and mutually self-reflexive.
This small book work should be of interest to writers, bibliographers, designers, conceptual artists, and anyone interested in the meta-language of diagrammatic thought in graphic form.
