ZWECKLOS, A Unique Book from Frieder Speck

An accordion book with the interesting title, ZWECKLOS.

The format of the book is 5 x 4cm, cover is made out of wood from elsbeere and the paper is some kind of beautiful vellum paper. What can I say?! WOW. Love this idea, self-ironic insight thing, It's just absolutely brilliant and one of the best books in my shelf from now! Thank you, Frieder!!

(ZWECKLOS = pointless/useless/vain, WIDERSTAND = resistance/resistor)

Comment by Frieder Speck on September 25, 2013 at 6:12pm: I forgot to say they are all welcome!

Comment by Frieder Speck on September 25, 2013 at 6:10pm: But now in Munich you hear Italians, Amaricans, HAmburgians, Australians, Austrians, Finnish, Swedish Danish, French, Dutch, Spanish, talking in their language and many of tham wear bavarian clothes and smell like Bavarian beer, Some of them are trying to sing bavarian songs like: " I wui wieda hoam, bin fei goanz alloan, I wui wieda hoam, hoam von großer Welt, I wui hoam nach Füastenfeld!"

Comment by Frieder Speck on September 25, 2013 at 5:22pm: Carina, Erni lives nearly in the middle between Bavaria and Petsmo if a Hamburger like him comes to Munich these days he will get a cultural shock and might think he is near the tower of Babel cause it sounds like a mixture of all languages if someone talks to him.

Comment by Carina on September 25, 2013 at 9:44am: Too difficult, Erni!
