Species of Spaces/Erdvės Rūšys

  • Migle Linkeviciute

Species of Spaces/Erdvės Rūšys is a response to brief 5 of the 2023 edition of the ISTDs competition.The publication explores Georges Perec’s 1974 book called “Species of Spaces” Foreword and The Page chapters. The aim was to create a publication that showcases the language barrier between English and Lithuanian languages. Hence why, I chose to redesign the Foreword and The Pages part of the book.To inform everyone about the language barrier, I decided to translate those parts of the book into Lithuanian and include both English and Lithuanian versions of the text in my redesigned publication. Presented in printed form, the publication measures 148x210mm. The format of the publication was chosen to pay tribute to the original book format. Typographically the book involves both serif and sans serif typefaces to show the difference between the English and the Lithuanian language. In 2023, I got awarded with the ISTD Membership for this publication.
