The number seven has fascinated people since ancient times. In actual fact, the memory of ones own childhood suffices to highlight the confrontation of the number seven in many fairy tales and myths. The folding book »Der Wolf und die sieben Geisslein« (»The wolf and the seven little goats«) is a typographical and artistically creative conflict to the Brother Grimm’s fairy tale of the same name. In the fairy tale seven is the number of little goats which are at the centre of the story and it runs through the complete folding book like a common thread.

The folding book has a size of 16 x 22 cm and contains 20 pages. The project was created in cooperation with Kim Schmieder.
