(Typo)graphics  > BROOMBALL

In late summer 2022 Simone Fürnschuß, an editor of the street newspaper Marie, asked me if I also wanted to design a card (A5) for the November and December issue, there would be 9 other artists as well. Because I appreciate the project of this newspaper and the works of the other 9 very much I said yes with pleasure.
Simone’s concept was that everyone chooses a typical dialect term from a pre-selection, which in one way or another have to do with the everyday life of the street vendors, and then interprets it in a completely free visual way.
I chose KEHRWÜSCH, which means small hand broom. Because I had been carrying the idea of a large broom sphere around in my head for years, and I simply wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and use the card to create a preliminary study for a large sculpture of a Broom Ball – 98 street brooms in a wooden sphere, diameter 390cm. At the next best opportunity I would like to realize the object to it and use it in a performance.
