HDMIHDGDL—or: shouldn’t audio-visual be called visual-auditory? Sabrina Zeltner a.k.a. Subrihanna has been on the road as a visual artist with various live video projects for years. In her artist book Showreel she makes the attempt to print her music videos, complemented by texts to reflect on her work by Kristoffer Cornils, Judith Grobe, Linda Weidmann and Meera Theunert.
The book contains 456 pages, most of which show printed video stills. The design of the text section combines behind-the-scenes footage and social media screenshots with blurred shapes in bright spot colors. It was designed by Philipp Dittmar at Complex Pleasures and adapts to the multi-layered visual aesthetics of Sabrina Zeltner’s live performances and video works.
