The Interview Project

Today, I designed a new book, “The Interview Project”, gathering interviews I have either given or conducted through the last five or six years.

The idea is to update it regularly with more material. This work-in-progress project has been inspired, among others, by Hans-Ulrich Obrist’s Interview Project1 (“an oral history of contemporary art”, running since 1996 with nearly 2000 hours of interviews); by the book Conversations2 edited by Constant and Christoph Haag in 2015; by a book by Markus Miessen3, and some more.

Design process: the book is generated from Markdown/text files and converted into a PDF with Pandoc/TeX.

I’m using some of my favorite typefaces of 2015/2016: Bagnard, by Sebastien Sanfilippo, for the cover. HK Serif and HK Grotesk, by Alfredo Marco Pradil, for the interior.

The book is available on Amazon, the source files are published on GitHub.
