Marginal Group

Randgruppe Piktogramm

I made a new piece of letter art called “Randgruppe” the German word for marginal or minority group. “Randgruppe” is a horrible word. Marginal groups exist on society’s edge and are not integrated. They are outsiders. Foreigners and gays used to be marginal groups of the past. Today’s marginal groups are handicapped and jobless people. Marginal groups are pushed to society’s borders, they just can’t move to the center.
On the one their otherness distinguishes them clearly from the gray mass, on the other hand they are drowned by this mass.
