Cover design and illustration for Skadedyr (Pest), a remarkable novel about a pest controller who fears his own extinction. It is a story that takes place in the tension between small insects and stars, God and devils, fiction and reality. But most of all it is about pests of different species and sizes. About how we systematically fight, reject and obliterate what does not fit into our ideals and prevailing systems. And about everything that will eventually go away. The book is bound with woven silk fabric with the illustration and typography embossed in gold foil.
