Sprechendes Wasser
Jürg Halter, Tanikawa Shuntarô
Secession Verlag für Literatur

Nominator: Boris Kochan

Designer: Christian Tremmel
Art Director: Boris Kochan
Design Firm: KOCHAN & PARTNER
Other Credits: ”Sprechendes Wasser ” combines the ideas and stories of two generations from two cultures and incorporates them into the circulation of the primordial element of the language: in poetic thoughts, in the beauty of the felicitous image. The layout of this volume of poetry uses the tactile possibilities of sensitive materials and finishing options and systematically guides readers in the bilingual dialogue. By the printed inner pages of the Japanese binding, once again a unique pattern emerges – a combination of the superficial and the background. The idea threads of the poem cycle are mutually reinforced through the seamless weaving of the pages. The double cover with the change from portrait to landscape illustrates the dialogue between Western and Eastern ways of thinking and writing.
