Petticoat Government, the little lion

At the heart of the project, the crossing of borders symbolized by the homelessness of the giants and their folklore.

A newspaper whose graphic design is made by Sophie Boiron and Pierre Huyghebaert (Spec uloos) is distributed to the visitors of the pavilion. The Amiamie font is used for the current text, accompanied by the PubliFluor Chrystelise for titrations.

“The giants dance in front of the rotary presses in Padova. Perhaps to celebrate this cutting-edge technology that will not see other generations, as the conditions for the existence of information on paper are on the verge of extinction. The newspaper of Petticoat Government is printed in these places. The newspapers in the maximum format are called quotidiano di grand formato (350 mm × 470 mm). The pink paper historically chosen to stand out from the generalist press is used here in reference to the popular Italian media. The gigantic draw of 100 000 copies corresponds to the minimum draw for the industry in question and to the maximum economic possibilities of the project. » Extract from the catalogue.
