Printed on Fabriano Tintoretto on a Korrex proof press. Spiral bound in slipcase, edition of 99.

The end of the past century prompted reflections about changes, and so between 1993 and 1999, in a series called Passages, the studio Fliegenkopf published selected texts from world literature which open vistas with few words. Each year a new volume appeared in a limited edition, hand set and printed, each volume illustrated in a different technique by a different artist. In 1999 the series came to an end with this volume of Heraclitus.

Fliegenkopf, was founded in 1989 by Christa Schwarztrauber, a master typesetter and printer who works in both traditional and experimental styles. The studio produces fine prints, typographic work and book art in collaboration with a variety of artists.
