Misprints

Art collection | object installation

Misprints consist of hundreds of faulty A4-prints from an office printer which have been building up in the course of Alexandra Reill‘s artistic production since 1998. The individual office prints form a hand-signed art collection in progress.

The aim is to collect a number of misprints, with which a pile, around two meters high, can be created by loosely and randomly throwing the individual printouts onto each other, thus forming an object installation.
