The book Trophy is awarded the Year’s Most Beautiful Book in the category Photobook/Artbook by Grafill in Norway.
An art book in pocket format with a wonderful tactile and holographic silver shimmer cover that matches the book’s prismatic collection of texts revolving around Signe Johannessen’s artwork. The interior’s slightly careless typography does not sacrifice elementary requirements for legibility, and the consistent use of a display font designed for the book by the book’s designer refers to the artist’s use of materials. A desirable object one cannot avoid noticing.
