Hien Le Mode

A book-project to accompany a touring exhibition of the same name conceived by Shezad Dawood. Black Sun is a term with multiple meanings; it represents the eclipse of the day, but is also a symbol of esoteric or occult significance used in various belief systems.

The book is formed of a central text written by Dawood (running from front to back) which is punctuated by numerous guest contributions. A cumulative set of esoteric symbols announce the start of each new phase of the narrative, a palette of typefaces drawn by Eric Gill provide the voices and a classic Jan Tschishold grid proportioned near the golden ratio holds the content together.
