De enige en zijn eigendom

Design
Laura Garcia Cabanillas with Michalis Pichler

Berlin-based conceptual artist, poet, and publisher Michalis Pichler's work revolves around the notions of appropriation and authorship. 'De enige en zijn eigendom' is the Dutch edition of his publication 'Der Einzige und Sein Eigentum', in which he appropriates and creates a new vision of the classic Manifesto of individual anarchism published in 1844 by German philosopher Max Stirner under the very same title: 'The Ego and Its Own'. The chapter titles and headers have been maintained, while the main text has been edited down to include first-person-signifiers only. Layout, typeset, and dimensions follow the German version, which has been in print and almost unchanged for the last 37 years by Reclam Universal-Bibliothek.
