A logbook documenting a visual journey through 50 years of analog b/w-photography, poetic in image and text, Riso-printed in black and gold.

The double award winning ARGO. A LOGBOOK. uses the mythological longship as a metaphor for Zita Oberwalder’s 50-year journey in analog photography. Through her Hasselblad 500C/M, she pursues the golden fleece, symbolizing (artistic) purpose, within spaces, non-places, and heterotopias. Designed around the golden ratio with the APK Protocol typeface in 50pt, the book blends precision with a personal touch, enhanced by handwritten notes. Co-designed in Vienna, Berlin, and Graz, and printed via Risography at Drucken3000 (Berlin) in black and gold.
