Crack Up, Crack Down
Crack-up Crack-down was published by Slavs and Tatars on the occasion of the 33rd edition of the Ljubljana Biennial of Graphic Arts. It includes commissioned essays from Emily Apter, Metahaven, Hamja Ahsan and others. I worked on the cover and illustrations, while the book was designed by Stan de Natris.
