Guided Tour of the Publishing House Triangle Books / Dreieck

Oliver Vandervliet offers an exceptional behind-the-scenes visit into his publishing universe, opening the doors of Triangle Books and presenting Dreieck Bücher, his antiquarian project dedicated to rare and out-of-print art books. As Olivier only rarely shares his collection and editorial archives, this visit is a unique opportunity and a real honour to discover his practice from the inside: the working process, the collaborations, and the material life of books as both artworks and carriers of memory.
