Neo Gods & Hyper Myths by Ira Lombardía
Neo Gods & Hyper Myths is a book by Ira Lombardía, published by Meteoro Editions.
The works by the artist encompassed in the books analyze the construction of female archetypes through time. The artworks confront their conceptual density, existence as products of hypervisibility, and sign saturation. Statues, women without heads, winged figures, mirrors, tablets, pedestals, mobiles, limbs, and gestures, accumulate their meanings by playing with iconography while seeking linguistic connections. Thus, offering flexible and polysemic meanings to demonstrate the commodification of the symbolic.
With this idea of evolution and reinterpretation, three iterations of Garamond-esque typefaces were chosen. The total book pages were divided into three parts, and each part was assigned one of the typefaces used (in chronological order of their creation), so the typeface changes from one page to the other, but it is barely noticeable to the reader.
The typography on the left using Century Gothic is a work by Ira Lombardía.
