Georg Büchner

IDEA

(01/23)
The texts of Georg Büchner's dramas "Danton's Death", "Leonce and Lena" and "Woyzeck" are transcribed onto one sheet each. All pages of each drama are overlaid on top of each other. Three works are created in this way.

TASKS

• Definition of the rules of pencil selection
• Selection of the paper format 

CONCEPT

(01/23)

The texts of Büchner's dramas Danton's Death, Leonce and Lena and Woyzeck are copied by hand with 12 Faber-Castell pencils (12 Castell 9000 Design Set) in the grades 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B, HB, F, H, 2H, 3H, 4H 5H.

The texts are transcribed from Georg Büchner Werke und Briefe (Deutscher Taschenbuch-Verlag ISBN: 3-423-02065-2, 2nd edition, February 1981)1.

In contrast to a purely digital implementation of a set of rules, the implementation of this concept influences three components:

• the printed text, taking into account its setting
• the set of rules developed from it for transferring the book page to the chosen paper format
• the handwriting of the writer, which cannot be arbitrarily forced into the proportions of the printed text, but represents its own reality.

RULEBOOK

(01/23)

Pencil choice

The pages can be written with 12 different pencils.

One pencil is used for each page. There is no provision for changing pencils within a page.

The aim of the pencil selection is to ensure that the pencils are used as evenly as possible by applying a rule derived from the text of each individual page.

Dantons Tod has 62 pages. This means that each pen should be used for 5.16 pages.

The first and last letters of each page are evaluated for pencil selection. 2 . Each letter is assigned a numerical value, starting with 1 for A, ending with 26 for Z. For each page, the sum of the two numerical values is calculated. This sum value is the basis for the assignment.

The application of the following formula:

IF(AND(SUMVALUE>4;SUMVALUE<=8); "5B";IF(AND(SUMVALUE>8;SUMVALUE<=12); "4B";IF(AND(SUMVALUE>12;SUMVALUE<=15); "3B"; IF(AND(SUMVALUE>15;SUMVALUE<=17); "2B";IF(AND(SUMVALUE>17;SUMVALUE<=18); "B";IF(AND(SUMVALUE>18;SUMVALUE<=22); "HB"; IF(AND(SUM VALUE>22;SUM VALUE<=23); "F";IF(AND(SUM VALUE>23;SUM VALUE<=26); "H";IF(AND(SUM VALUE>26;SUM VALUE<=30); "2H"; IF(AND(SUMVALUE>30;SUMVALUE<=35); "3H";IF(AND(SUMVALUE>35;SUMVALUE<=41); "4H";IF(AND(SUMVALUE>41;SUMVALUE<=52); "5H";""))))))))))))

leads to the following distribution for Dantons Tod:

5 x 5B, 6 x 4B, 5 x 3B, 4 x 2B, 3 x B, 6 x HB, 4 x F, 7 x H, 7 x 2H, 6 x 3H, 3 x 4H, 6 x 5H.

Choice of paper

The work is realised on Cara pura 140g acid-free 100% Cotton 34 x 48 cm1

Text Format

One page of text has 42 lines in the book.

The process of transcribing cannot be mathematically defined in advance. Therefore, the transcription of the texts was tested in advance.

This resulted in a probable maximum line width of up to 24 cm. The printed line has a maximum width of 9 cm.

The natural writing process also resulted in a written line height of 1 cm, the printed text has a of about 0.375 cm.

For the written text block, this means a size of 24 cm by 42 cm. If the text is centred on the book page, it is also centred on the page.

These values are the same for all dramas.

Writing rules

Text Handling

• Each line is written from the left. Insertions and graphic elements are ignored.
• Blank lines remain blank lines.
• The capitalisation of the characters is ignored.
• The capitalisation of headings is ignored.
• The leading scene number is not transcribed.
• Page numbers are not transcribed.

Pencil Handling

Any pencil used is sharpened before the page starts and then not again until the end of the page.
