A washed black tee printed in white with a concrete poem reproduced across the chest, BOEM in heavy caps at the top, PAUKESLAG beneath it and PLAT set out to the right, then Dutch text scattered below at varying angles, weights and sizes, some lines running diagonally and others broken apart across the width.
Boem Paukeslag is a 1921 sound poem by Paul van Ostaijen, a Flemish modernist who used typography itself as the instrument, letting size and position on the page carry the rhythm. It remains one of the landmark works of Dutch language typographic poetry. A poem printed at full scale on a tee is an unusual object, closer to a gallery print than band merch.
