Description

Referenzfläche is a series of publications working as a performing act both in the production (writing/making) and the publishing aspect. None oft he step involved can be outsourced, nor to make it in any sense more effective. Therefore, Referenzfläche is also a statement against division of labour in creative processes. The low price (minimum price of production cost) is a way to avoid any arbitrary claim of value. Every customer is free to pay as much as they want. Since all issues are sold out by now, copies are distributed according to a rental system. Every interested reader may keep a copy until anyone else asks for it. Then she/he will be asked to send it to the next adress.
