Alexander Egger
Satellites Mistaken for Stars

Alexander Egger is the creative director of the Vienna-based design studio Nofrontiere, a design group known for extending the boundaries of the field with innovative and fresh approaches to graphic design.  With Satellites Mistaken for Stars, Egger contributes to the dialog of experimental graphic design by giving us a book concerned largely with understanding the poetic potential of everyday occurrences and expressing disdain for hierarchical concepts and their boundaries.  The seemingly unimportant, banal events of everyday life are documented, re-contextualized & de-constructed; confusion, deficiency and surprise are woven in, bringing these events back into the viewer's field of vision.  The process of creation holds primacy for Nofrontiere, and Egger's thesis that the beauty of intuition can only be discovered through this process is revealed in all its glory in Satellites Mistaken for Stars.
