Publication
Haroon Mirza works with sound, video, sculpture and light, to create installations and assemblages that alter perceptions of the intended function. Utilising material and objects such as used furniture, household electronics, machines, video footage and sometimes even works by other artists – revealing the hidden qualities of these outwardly disparate objects. For his book, we worked closely together to develop a way of communicating this method in print. The typeface used throughout is derived from a machine font used for routing, and the book cover was a collaboration between Mirza and ourselves. The image – a photo of a spinning record – was sliced into with the same routing machine mentioned previously as an intervention. Other features include spinning page numbers that echo the movement of the cover.
