Bid Book Hannover / Application ECoC 2025

Sebastian Peetz delivered creative concept, typography and images for Hannover's bid book ›Agora of Europe‹ for the title European Capital of Culture 2025. The book's eye-catching cover is a filigree laser-cut multilayer relief, which picks up the formal language of the ›Merzbau‹ by Dada artist Kurt Schwitters and continues as a gap into the book. A closer look at the artistic paper landscape reveals the letters ›Hannover‹. Inside the – entirely handbound – book meticulous design elements, micro-typography and fantastic illustrations relate to the passages of the manuscript and flank the captivating bid with pictorial flare.
