Scope

Developed in collaboration with Atelier Cruz-Diez, El Archivo de Fotografía Urbana, and Letra Muerta, the catalog was produced in an edition of 100 copies. The design and layout were developed in close collaboration with Faride Mereb, who served as editorial and design director throughout the process.

Photography by Samoеl González.

The font, used for a somewhat modernist look and feel, was the sans serif Archivo by Omnibus Type. The publication was printed digitally in the UK and saddle-bound. One of the hardest parts of this project was not the design, but the selection of printed matter to include and the editing process across institutions, in multiple languages.
