 Einheitskurzschrift / Unified Shorthandby Susanna Lakner & Stefan HeuerThis is the second collaboration between Stefan Heuer and Susanna Lakner. After their self-published zine Anleitung zu Erste Hilfe bei Unfällen (Instructions for First Aid In Case of Accidents, 2017) they altered an old coursebook together again. The two collagists collaborated through the postal service and sent the brochure back and forth between themselves on numerous occasions. Each exchange brought with it new layers from scissored images, transparent stickers, text fragments and rubdown lettering from Stuttgart and Burgdorf, South and West Germany. They have yet to meet.  scissored images from an old illustration, flyer, speech bubble; 2018 Courtesy of the artists.
