Theoriedestillate

Art theory books are shredded, soaked in water and alcohol, repeatedly filtered and distilled in a self-made distillery. The „essence“ is thus extracted from the book and filled in bottles of spirits. The label corresponds to the main title page of the respective book and contains information about the distilled edition (author, title, publisher and year) as well as the distillation process (product, date and alcohol content).

(since 2016–ongoing)

More than 300 bottles filled with theory distillates, between 10 and 750 ml, 4-56%.
