Kasper Andreasen - High Capacity

From 1998 to 2003, Kasper Andreasen collected diverse printed matter on the streets of London, Copenhagen, Prague, and Amsterdam. When he moved to Berlin in 2016, he rediscovered this material and considered either doing something with it or simply discarding it. He decided to make collages. ‘High Capacity’ presents this personalised collection of printed matter. The project examines the traces of text and images, the collage-making process, and the temporal nature of certain printed matter. It also addresses the ubiquity and abundance of print versus the transience of the medium. The book is printed in a way that reflects the imperfect and grubby origins of this found matter.
