Summary

"In terms of space, the field of text and image are usually clearly separated. But this division can be removed if the typography becomes an object in its own right, and thus part of the pictorial world. When we have to deal with hybrid figures: as architecture they are part of the set-design of the visual short story, but as typography they are at the same time always "only" a linguistic sign / Andres Janser"--back cover.
