High and Deep, Exhibition at filesharing in Berlin, meeting the authors and people involved



High and Deep — 42* perfect days
Diplom FHTW Berlin. 2004

42 invited authors from different fields write about their perfect day.

The invitation sent provided the title "My Perfect Day" instead of questions, with a white space to write and a detachable postcard for the author to keep. The nourishment shown with the character refers to and 'expands' the german "Lebensmittel-gesetz" (=Food-law).

The returned stories - from factual to poetic - were incredible. During a one-day exhibition at Filesharing in Berlin, now Supa-Life Kiosk, all authors and people involved met with chocolate cake and music. The 42 "Perfect Days" were hang in the exhibition aswell as compiled in a book, structured as a foldable map.
The created memory game for play in the exhibition and with friends, filters the keywords of the 42 Perfect Days.
The t-shirts printed with the character and the High and Deep map were a thank you present to each of the authors. The t-shirts were produced by Shirtlab and are for sale in their shop in Hamburg and Zuerich.
