Knock! Knock! Books
Abstract
Knock! Knock! Books is a long-term project by Else Lagerspetz and Loore Sundja. It is a performative publishing practice in which they explore the topics of independent publishing through the media of fiction and design. The talk presents a mix of facts and fantasy. Similarly to the publications of Knock! Knock! Books, the border between truth and fiction is intentionally vague.
