Hommage till ordbilden is in many ways Anders Hall’s professional testament. Here, wordpairs meet up with and against each other, alongside quotes and longer texts that in different ways touch upon his both deep and ardent interest in linguistic, typographic and existential communication.
The book Hommage till ordbilden entices conventional reading, but also works as a kind of test chart of over hundreds of different fonts. The book is enriched with five newly written poems authored by the poet Eva Runefelt and dedicated to this book.
Anders Hall’s Hommage till ordbilden is an exquisite and wayward example of Swedish book art at its very best.
