I’m very honored to have been given this beautiful award Jan Tschichold and an exhibition within the context of the Most Beautiful Swiss Books Awards exhibition.
I am thrilled to show a new work: a wooden superstructure, projections and books.
Both exhibitions are on until Sunday 22.6.25 at Helmhaus in Zürich.
Huge thanks to Nicole Udry and Sereina Rothenberger for all the great work.
