Ruedi Baur's 'La loi et ses conséquences visuelles' Explores Law and Graphic Design
Ruedi Baur's book 'La loi et ses conséquences visuelles', published by Lars Müller Publisher, examines the intersection of graphic design, visual signs in public space, and legal regulations. The volume is the result of several years of workshops at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig. It features texts by Baur, Bernard Edelman, Gunter Karl Bose, and Pierre Legendre, alongside a portfolio of images. The book is structured with text on one side and images on the other, rotated 180 degrees. However, the review criticizes the lack of coherence between the texts and the visual portfolio, and finds some contributions obscure or only tangentially related to the core subject. The review was written by Alexandre Laumonier.
