Prize(s)Honorable Mention
Entry Description

Studio Renate Boere designed the daring artist book ‘Consuming Instinct, Gurt Swanenberg’ that shows the complete works of artist Gurt Swanenberg for the first time. The design of typography, image and binding refers to the garish advertising leaflets, displaying their wares. 
The book is a critical translation of the consuming nature of humans. In his art Gurt Swanenberg combines natural objects and decadence to create a reflection of our modern sin. Studio Renate Boere has chosen to support the work of Gurt Swanenberg with visual references from the past, such as the ‘wunderkammers’, as contemporary references like supermarkets and many publicity tricks to persuade consumers. In three years time the book evolved into a spectacular designed artist book that displays a different view on the consuming world. Don’t miss the first edition! buy it now!
