Dismantled

Melbourne-based Eduardo Kairuz is a rare kind of design professional whose work emerges equally from the worlds of both architecture and art. In this work, Kairuz reads the conventions of classical music (its strict discipline and the authority of the maestro) as analogous to wider systems of visual and spatial order. He then systematically dismantles these conventions, through the editing and recomposing of their elements, to the point of collapse. Designed by John Warwicker, tomato.The work is driven by a fascination with 'the mounting tensions that build up just before collapse, as well as the resilience that emerges right after the disaster erupts and falls into consciousness'.The book is also a unique collaboration with the multi-award winning, multidisciplinary designer John Warwicker. Bringing both a lifetime of experience and a protean capacity to approach each new challenge afresh, Warwicker's design typographically echoes the tension within Kairuz's work, between control and dissonance, between discipline and restless enquiry.
