This publication presents a collection of texts written and performed by Ernest van der Kwast during the State of the Art debates in 2011.
With each chapter we introduced a second layer of imagery with a central theme revolving around the hand.Within each image there's a double meaning besides the obvious numerical indicator.
This is also the premier of VB Pallograph a typeface we designed inspired by a collection of house numberings located in Rotterdam.
