The Art of unionität

Benjamin Knabe

Die Zeitungsautomaten

For those who read between the lines.

„You don’t need coins — just curiosity is enough."

Where BILD and the Kölner Express used to provide fast, sensationalized news for consumption, two newsstands with completely new content now have the same layout and have Benjamin Knabe been developed by the publishers in conjunction with their Ardi Goldman own newspapers, which are now located there.

Anyone who opens the flap will not find fleeting news, but texts that stay. The yellow machine is dedicated to a special edition on the „Magic Triangle of Life,“ while the blue one leads to the „Art of Unionität“.

Inspiration for your own being. Instead of yesterday's news.
„The most important news is often the one we find within ourselves—when we put the noise of the world behind us for a moment.“

A Closer Look at the Work

In a time of fleeting screen information, these objects deliberately emphasize the tactile aspect. The fluttering of the paper. The deliberate decision to remain standing.

Former boulevard vending machines as places of deceleration. A plea for the fact that some things only truly have an effect when you hold them in your hand.
