Carta a Mirtha | Sebastián Barrante

Cartas a Mirtha is a project by Sebastián Barrante in which he explores different dimensions of asemic writing. In this way, he creates different families of graphism based on their visual characteristics, which are then inserted into a conventional format, such as the letter, reflecting the concepts of writing, reading, and publication.

The project is a quote from the Argentinian artist Mirtha Dermisache’s works, who used several conventional formats to insert her illegible writings, creating a union between the graphic nature of writing and the graphic nature of conventional formats in publishing.
