Description: "Following the Almanac for the year 2012, which I published in 2012 as an edition of 12 copies, 2020 seemed like a good starting point for a new project. I began working on it in January. The plan was to create 20 copies, each consisting of 20 double spreads, in accordion form. It includes a variety of texts relating to different dates that feature the number 20. The typography was handset and letterpress printed, then complemented with original postage stamps glued in. The stamps had to be in denominations of 20, with a connection to the theme of the respective page" --
