Krijn de Koning: Inside Outside

Coma, Brooklyn, New York, 2000

Description

Krijn de Koning creates “site-specific” sculptures that raise questions about how architecture conditions and limits us. Experiencing his work entails walking from room to room, looking from window to window, space to space—experiencing the inside/outside. Our challenge was to create a “site specific design” to de Koning’s work. The resulting design is based on the experience of inside/outside, by employing interior/exterior and horizontal/vertical grids. The horizontal and vertical grids form overlapping layers. The blue “bars” on the outside of the book indicate the horizontal and vertical grid, and the horizontal structure of the interior is used as a big window, showing all installations and main reading texts. Marked as a page with crop marks, this grid is looped like a video, and the frame shifts throughout the book slowly to the right. The vertical grid is used for all background information, including drawings, models, an interview and traveling pictures.
