After a week enjoying Leipzig a lot, these are the things I did.<\/p>\n

First, Leipzig is great! It has everything you need. It is a big city but it is not overcrowded. You feel that the city is alive. It is looking for new things without forgetting its past.<\/p>\n

About the project:<\/p>\n

1. \u201cA walk through a library\u201d \u2014 When I met David Voss<\/a>\u00a0I asked him to try to stylize the German design. Together we thought about a project which could show that in some way. To make some results, we needed material. And what is the best way to discover some (local) culture: walk around in a library (of the HGB Leipzig<\/a>) and look for material. We took pictures of what we found with a smartphone. After that, we printed the pictures and tried to look for something specific, maybe something representative for the German or Leipziger design. With this selection, compositions on spreads were made. Those spreads were photographed again with the smartphone. After that, we printed those spreads and we decided on the composition of the book in order to tell our story. Finally, we printed the book\/zine twice.<\/p>\n

2. \u201cT-shirts\u201d \u2014 Project with Laetitia Gorsy<\/a>. On an evening this week, I met Laetitia, a French girl, living in Leipzig. I was wondering why she wanted to leave France and live here. She told me her story and that gave us the idea to make something out of it:
\nThe t-shirts are meant to be like the connection when people meet. We each made one t-shirt and together we made the third. The t-shirts can be swapped around, giving another result and that is the same when people meet.<\/p>\n

Het heeft alles wat je nodig hebt. Het is een grote stad, maar niet overvol. Je voelt dat de stad leeft. Ze zoekt nieuwe dingen zonder haar verleden te vergeten.\n\nOver het project:\n\n1. \u201cA walk through a library\u201d: toen ik David Voss<\/a> ontmoette, vroeg ik hem om het Duitse ontwerp te stileren. Samen bedachten we een project dat dat op een of andere manier kon tonen. Om resultaten te maken, hadden we materiaal nodig. En wat is de beste manier om (lokale) cultuur te ontdekken? Rondlopen in een bibliotheek (die van de HGB Leipzig<\/a>) en materiaal zoeken. We fotografeerden wat we vonden met een smartphone. Daarna drukten we de foto\u2019s af en zochten we naar iets specifieks, iets wat misschien representatief is voor het Duitse of Leipziger ontwerp. Met die selectie maakten we composities op spreads. Die spreads fotografeerden we opnieuw met de smartphone. Daarna drukten we die spreads af en bepaalden we de opbouw van het boek om ons verhaal te vertellen. Tot slot drukten we het boek, of de zine, twee keer.\n\n2. \u201cT-shirts\u201d: project met Laetitia Gorsy<\/a>. Op een avond deze week ontmoette ik Laetitia, een Franse die in Leipzig woont. Ik vroeg me af waarom ze Frankrijk wilde verlaten om hier te wonen. Ze vertelde me haar verhaal en dat bracht ons op het idee om er iets van te maken:\nDe T-shirts staan voor de verbinding wanneer mensen elkaar ontmoeten. We maakten elk \u00e9\u00e9n T-shirt en samen maakten we het derde. De T-shirts kunnen van plek wisselen, wat telkens een ander resultaat geeft. Zo gaat het ook wanneer mensen elkaar ontmoeten.","seo_titel":"","seo_titel_nl":"","omschrijving":"","omschrijving_nl":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=320"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":470,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320\/revisions\/470"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathieucieters.com\/thegraphicnomad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
