A new energy to create a book with the aim of heavily distressing it to the point of destruction. Inks and oils were collected from the actual printing process and later used to stain the books, thereby creating unique colours and textures. These substances also evoke the scent of the same machines that printed it. WERK No.20 is a documentation of work done since 2000. Recording the techniques, intricacies and constructions explored in our attempts to push the perimeters of the printed matter. Details that are ‘invisible’ to the naked eye are now magnified to reveal the beauty and organic textures of papers, glues and materials used to find the perfect imperfect balance. Our motivation is to find humanity, permanence and perfection in a fast changing world that has gone digital. WERK No.20 will be release at ginza graphic gallery (ggg) in Tokyo on Dec 3rd, 2012.
332 pages, full color, 220mm x 310mm. Hand-aged, distressed, crushed and stained. Limited edition of 1000 copies.
Made in Singapore. Printing and construction by alsoDominie. Photographed by Caleb Ming. Designed by Theseus Chan.

Paul Rooney is an artist and writer, and winner of the 2008 Northern Art Prize. This collection of short fiction includes 19 stories all written in his trademark style, which has echoes of Iain Sinclair, Samuel Beckett and Donald Barthelme all offset by Liverpudlian humour. These stories take us away from the crowd to abandoned people, places and mythologies. Through them we mine unregarded moments and complex histories, all uncovered with writing that mixes absurdity, comedy and artifice. I Can Travel Far From Here implores us to join a wayward evangelical mission. In Lost High Street a tourist realises he is trapped forever on a sightseeing bus as punishment for an act of espionage. And in Thin Air a student believes a university building is speaking to him about European wars and revolutions. Rooney’s writing is admired by poet George Szirtes and has been reviewed by The Guardian, Art Review, The Wire and MAP Magazine, among others.

Today we speak to Kazumasa Teshigawara, a designer and artist from Tokyo, Japan.
Yanda: Tell me something about you?
Kazumasa Teshigawara: My name is Kazumasa Teshigawara. I work under the label “qubibi”.
What do you do first when you get up in the morning?
I say “hi” to my son.
What daily routines you cannot do without?
To make some free time to spend outside, like taking a walk. But there are days when I can’t.
How would you describe your life in one sentence?
“Unsure.”
Has it been fulfilling so far?
No. But I don’t feel unfulfilled either.
Do you start it (QUBIBI) alone? What does it mean?
Yes. In Japanese it is 首美 or “beautiful neck.” Translated into alphabets it would be written as “kubibi,” but I chose to use “q” instead of “k” since the letter looks like it is comprised of a head and a neck. “q” also looks better typographically.
Where have you worked before starting QUBIBI?
I worked as a web designer.
How would you define your work?
To create something related to screen media.
What has been your proudest work?
The “hello world” project.
Tell me more about it (your hello world project) and swimmer?
hello world
The theme of this work is the “border” between various things. It starts with a pothole – the relationship between the flesh and a hole. What is the element that lets us recognize a hole as a “hole”? What if we took that element and stretched it to infinity? This concept isn’t limited to physical “space”; we can recognize borders between many things including time, intention, life and death. By changing the scope of vision, these borders become less clear, turning into a fuzzy gradation and swallowing each other.
“hello world” is an ongoing project, and I’ve made many works that are related to this project. All of them are programs that generate animations in realtime. The programs are continuously playing with the “borders” which are created by tweaking the contrasts. The final visuals appear to have an underlying rule, and yet it also looks chaotic at the same time. To be honest, I can’t completely control them. Nobody knows how they will turn out.

This work takes the concept of “sleep” for both people and for computers. FYI, you can find so many people sleeping in public here in Japan.
