3 Sekunden #[nn]

Marc-Antoine Mathieu's *3 Sekunden* from Reprodukt is a striking graphic work that announces itself with quiet, unsettling confidence. The cover — rendered entirely in stark black and grey by Mathieu — frames a single, tightly cropped face in a small central panel: wide-eyed, open-mouthed, caught in a frozen moment of apparent shock or alarm against the surrounding void. Published in 2012, this German-language edition invites readers into what promises to be an intense, precisely crafted visual experience from a genuinely distinctive European voice.
