The result of a workshop about artist's books led by Kasper Andreasen, “Hope to Hear from You” is a collaborative publication about phishing scams.

Participants made text-based drawings inspired by a collection of misleading emails from pseudonyms such as David Jones and Laaibah Justin Yak. These drawings were etched directly into the offset printing plates that were used to produce the book, thereby emphasizing the tension between authorship and dissemination.

Together with Geela Eden, Johannes Markus Frerichs, Martha Gloyer, Ada Grull, Alice Kuczminski, Alexander Kurzhöfer, Marc André Offenhammer, Gönül Salgin, and Marina Veselova.

20 × 28 cm and 17 × 24.8 cm, 40 pages (waterless drypoint etchings, 1C offset printed), edition of 180, published by Muthesius Kunsthochschule.
