| Double bind is conceptually specific for Manuel Raeder’s design works. They have two incompatible requests that lead to two different forms of consciousness. It seems a negation that is primarily proclaimed. That leaves you with nothingness. However, on another side, and probably at a deeper level, you can find multiple layers of sense within conceptual framework and also beyond. Therefore point of conflict turns out to be a positive source that can make your sensual and intellectual experience in his works more intensive. For the flyer project Manuel Raeder designed a circular shaped paper that was produced in three different colors. Nothing is written on it and with it. This circular shape becomes odd in the context where the flyer is actually placed, that is between newspaper and flyers, especially when the others are unexceptionally rectangular standing for efficiency. The basic idea of this flyer came from the use of it as bird carpet. Yet, in the project it suggests all possible usages improvised by the receivers themselves: children can draw on it, housekeeper wraps stuff with it, students use it as mouse pad, anything is open to you.
