Schnecken Publishing – Miss Read

Schnecken Publishing

Schnecken Publishing is the independent publishing platform from artist Dana Engfer and designer Moritz Otto, based in Berlin.

In an increasingly fast-paced digital world, we offer a counterbalance in the form of slowly and carefully selected publications. We understand art publications not only as a documentation of artistic works but as independent pieces that open up new perspectives through their design, language, and content structure.
