Artimo is proud to present:
The Barcelona Project
"Underworld", the result of The Barcelona Project, a co-operation of
three
different disciplines: photography (Michiel van Nieuwkerk), writing
(Yoeri
Albrecht) and graphic design (Agata Zwierzyñska). Intending for it to
become a detective photo-comic, the story based on the classical "Faust"
by Goethe, was shot on the streets of Barcelona in a work period of two
weeks, using the city as a natural background for the fight between the
Good and the Bad.
The book became a literal as well as an associative sample of films,
music, lyrics, photographs, poetry, literature and the media building
around Fausts classic tale. With its innovative form creating a new
story, it intended to fit in at newsstands, art bookshops, comic book
shops and plain bookstores.
The project researched the borders of each discipline and tried to cross
them to make their inter-action more alive and exciting, both for the
project participants as well as the intended readers. "Underworld", the
dummy publication, offers a broad range of just over a 100 full
color
photocopied pages, treated as double-spreads, aims at surprising and
challenging the viewer, yet its glossy recycling makes it readable,
enjoyable and recognizable at the same time.
