Singaporean artist Theseus Chan (born 1961) and German printer and publisher Gerhard Steidl (born 1950) here combine make-ready sheets from a recent Steidl book with a new series of Chan’s ink drawings—shifting, bleeding, abstract forms that interact with the underlying images and texts in unpredictable ways. This special edition is produced in a limited run of 500 copies.

In this collaboration between Singaporean artist Theseus Chan (born 1961), Gerhard Steidl and Kunsthaus Göttingen (where Chan showed the work as part of Documenta 15), the collaborators made use of discarded test sheets for binding, shut off water on press to create unpredictable color patterns and exchanged CMYK colors for fluorescent variants—all to redefine the traditions of offset printing.
