Mrs Eaves (aka Gemma O’Brien) attended TYPO Berlin, with a lovely piece of performance text.

There have been a lot of magazines doing the whole text covered model things, and of course there are several really famous pieces by Sagmeister, but that is then distilled back into a 2D context for consumption (the magazine cover). I think taking body text out into the world adds a whole other, much more interesting, level to the art experiment. Bringing with it both spectacle and ambiguity.

I’m also posting an interview with Mrs Eaves from the expo that I’m wildly entertained by mostly because it starts with type related questions, and then delves into questions about Star Wars. Why? I don’t know, and I think she was equally confused. (The intro is in German, but the interview is in English.)
