LOVER LOSER, Egil and Thorsten Dennerline
Texts by Egil and Thorsten Dennerline. Three-color lithographs are overlaid with "diagram poems" printed on translucent Japanese paper. Because of the translucency, the text and image become one but can also be viewed separately by turning the pages. The subject matter relates to the use of grotesques and humor in cultural critique in the history of printing. In this case, absurd biomorphic and zoomorphic non-functional creatures are meant to mirror to our own behaviors of greed, consumerism, and war. Egil and Thorsten each wrote half of the texts in response to the images as overlays.
Medium: Lithography (3 colors) and letterpress on handmade paper. All printing by Thorsten Dennerline
Binding in full leather and by Barry Spence, Size Closed: 7x9 inches
Edition: 20, 4 A.P.
