Søren Kierkegaard – Den fromme spotteren

Søren Kierkegaard – Den fromme spotteren

Dust jacket and cover for Trond Berg Eriksens book. The illustration of Kierkegaard was found in the magazine Corsaren from 1846. In the original illustration, Kierkegaard is surrounded by objects that represent his thought universe orbiting the philosopher. The objects were replaced by the typography, where all the text on front, spine, back and flaps rotate around the axis, which is Kierkegaard. The cover is in red Geltex creating a contrast to the blue dust jacket.
