Void.Reflections

This book, published by Slanted Publishers, celebrates the 10-year anniversary of Void – an Oslo-based experimental design studio working at the intersection of art, design, technology, and informatics. Carefully curated and edited by Michael Ulrich Hensel and the design studio, Void.Reflections showcases a selection of Void’s most compelling works, interwoven with a variety of visual and textual narratives. But rather than telling their story alone, Void chose to open the conversation – inviting external perspectives and interpretations of their work.

The result is a rich, multi-voiced reflection on the themes and questions emerging from the studio’s practice. Contributions include the poem “Desperation Animation” by Silje Linge Haaland, along with essays by Michael Hensel, Pernille Sandberg, Fredrik Høyer, Elise By Olsen, Einar Duenger Bøhn, Gaute Brochmann, and Void themselves.

Designed by the studio itself, of the book (21×28cm, 264 pages), echoes Void’s unique aesthetic sensibility – capturing the ephemeral qualities, luminous events, and visual atmospheres that define their work. In that sense, this book is not just about Void; it is Void – an extension of the studio’s creative vision.

Printed by NINO Druck and bound by Buchbinderei Spinner, the publication features thermo-sensitive varnish, hot-foil embossing, thread-stitching and changing papers.
