DOMINIE-WERK No.26: BÉTON BRUT aka "THE BRUTALIST" is an experiment on printing with insanely dense ink. Humans simply pushing a machine to its limits. The result is a book that is heavy in terms of visual, weight and scent. Bound both sides, you would to destroy the book before you can devour all 640 pages of it. Every issue comes with a poster created by repurposing the inevitable wastage produced when printing the book. All wastage were collected and over printed with an introduction to the project. Thus we created a series of unique posters where no two piece are the same, while achieving near zero wastage for this whole project.
