16 June 1904. - Frenken, Jo (Maastricht : Jan van Eyck Academie, 2024)
This publication is based on James Joyce’s great literary work “Ulysses”, which in turn draws from the classic epic Greek poem “Odyssey” by Homer. Few will have truly read these works, and even fewer will ‘read’ this publication. The text of “Ulysses”, via Project Gutenberg, has been stripped of all punctuation, numbers, and special characters. Only the Latin alphabet remains, in capitals and narrowly spaced. The font used is Letter Gothic bold in 12 and 24 points. The various densities of these monospace letters give a vibrant visual effect. Typography is steered into bare minimum. The 22 colours used are primarily chosen by chance.
