The time spend after dinner at the table is the English translation of the spanish word “Sobremesa”.
how self-publishers (to) balance the
struggle of publishing in the climate
crisis era
Through various forms of research the project Sobremesa came in to being. 1: research on “understanding the materiality and the invisible environmental impact of self-publishing” in the thesis, 2: publishing a collection of thoughts for/how self-publishers (to) balance the struggle of publishing in the climate crisis era and 3: gathering all contemplations from the previous to create an open communal space in the shape of a dining and reading table.
The end product, the table, serves as a publication itself. With traces of texts engraved on the surface. The focus in the whole project is on re-using materials. A thoughtfull sobremesa is created by emphasizing on sharing publications, all the wood collected from trash en serving leftover food.
To the left: Layers. A small publication with thoughts on layers, emphasizing on the non-linearity of resources and thoughts.
