This is Marta Cerdà's collaboration for the OFFF Unmasked book by the studio Vasava, a book celebrating the 15th anniversary of the OFFF Festival. In the words of Vasava: "OFFF Unmasked is a journey into a parallel world, portraying the OFFF community as a mysterious cult with its own legends and rituals. Readers must peer behind the layers of myth to discover the real story of OFFF, its founders and its early supporters."
I was in charge of designing the secret scriptures, and I did it with an imaginary alphabet that is at the same time hiding images and information about the OFFF Festival. The idea was to create an alphabet that couldn’t be located in any particular historical period, and that would reveal specific facts about the OFFF Festival, such as its director Hector Ayuso, its hometown Barcelona, or its global approach.
