In the form of an interactive installation, Studio FREUDE, Sebastian Hackenschmidt, Cornelia Malli, and Michael Tatschl present the sequel to an anthology that designers absolutely must read: “Unabdinglich!”

The sequel to this indispensable reader for designers is presented as part of an interactive installation. On the one hand, the freshly printed anthology – featuring texts that designers absolutely should read – is available for visitors to take home for free (while supplies last). On the other hand, visitors can use an automated device to add two things the book is still missing: an image and a bookmark. “Unabdinglich!” is a collaborative project by Studio FREUDE, Sebastian Hackenschmidt, Cornelia Malli, and Michael Tatschl.

With texts by: Elizabeth Fisher, Ursula K. Le Guin, Enis Maci, Lily Braun, Nathalie Sarraute, Susan Sontag, Clarice Lispector, Yoko Tawada, Lydia Davis, Patti Smith, Kate Chopin, Virginia Woolf, Colette, Elfriede Jelinek, Siri Hustvedt, Uta Brandes, L. G. (Lucy Gertrude) Moberly, James Tiptree Jr. (Alice B. Sheldon), Joan Didion, Olga Tokarczuk, and Emily St. John Mandel
