As most graphic artists do, Andreas Scheiger has a fascination with type. It seems that this fascination has evolved into a fixation however, as Andreas Scheiger literally dissects the alphabet in the 'Evolution of Type' photo series.
Featuring Andreas Scheiger dissecting self-made sculptures of the alphabet, the series actually took inspiration from a typography book. The book compares elements of lettering to human organs, which Andreas Scheiger decided to develop in a literal sense.
