Undeciphered Characters

Especially throughout The Palace of Typographic Masonry will visitors encounter a variety of expressions and mysterious signs, made by Michèle Boulogne, Our Polite Society, Harriët van Reek, Edgar Walthert and Kristiāna Marija Sproģe for The Asemic Cabinet. These signs resemble a form of writing that can be understood as a so-called “asemic script.” In this publication, designed by Richard Niessen, who also wrote an introduction, these character sets come together in pursuit of inexplicable meaning.
