This is not
a love song
This publication was a close collaboration with the artist and jack of all trades: Hester Keijser. It served as
the posters and exhibition guide for This is not a love song, an exhibition at the
only photography gallery of Dubai (UAE): the Empty
Quarter.
The six Palestinian artists in the show share an introductionary essay. The
publication is split up in 2 colours: one for each language. The colours then blend
together in the imagery. The personal sections are then further split up into 2 functions:
they serve as an explanation of the work and a poster announcing the event.
Since the client wanted to echo the DIY attitude of the punk movement, the 7
A3’s were stencil printed, folded and glued together in the spine. This leaves the
choice to the reader: he can read it as is or rip it apart to hang the posters. It was typeset
in Franklin Gothic and Massira (béta), a currently unreleased font by Pascal
Zoghbi.
