A Gesture
Editorial
{03}
In collab – Valentino Angela & Juul van Zandt
2022

The catalog ‘A Gesture’ showcases the work of 180 graduates from the University of the Arts Utrecht that have each made a gesture in their own way. Their gestures are explored through themes of Approach, Arouse, Merge, Question and Revive. These themes allow for a categorisation based on stories, rather than studies.  The book contains a total of 310 pages and is printed using offset technique. It's wrapped in a screen-printed sleeve complimented by a green elastic-band that holds everything in place.
