Unfolding like a city panorama, this Leporello publication comes housed in a custom slipcase. Holmqvist composes dense typographic images built solely from letters, numerals and special characters: staggered “H” blocks form skylines, cascades of “777” suggest rhythm, while symbol clusters read like concrete emojis. Text becomes pure graphic matter – a piece of visual concrete poetry fusing architecture with language.

"I on a Lion in zion" is one of five books of The Black Box.

Inspired by T.S. Eliot’s ‘The Waste Land’, Karl Holmqvist uses a writing method mainly based on quotes, which now includes a diverse range of sources, from beat and concrete poetry, to cut-up lines from films and popular songs—often quoted in their entirety.
