Hortus Alienum – Scenographies of Nobody’s Voyage
Anna Valentiny
Description
Hortus Alienum – Scenographies of Nobody's Voyage is a narrative exploration of humanity, unfolding across five acts through complex drawings, picture research, and renderings. The editorial design responds to this depth — a square format, a carefully chosen elegant yet mysterious typeface, and a mirror cover that reflects both the water-surface setting and, perhaps, the reader themselves. Two editions were created: a high-end version with mirror cover paper, full colour interiors, and softcover binding; and a second edition — its total opposite — maintaining identical content while answering different budget realities. Because producing a book is an intense, layered process, and print costs
