Artist Sarah Ortmeyer and architect and publisher Felix Burrichter produced a publication entitled XXX BURRICHTER ORTMEYER. The project presented and expanded upon their research about politics, love, Los Angeles, and Vienna. The book was available for sale and was accompanied by the installation KANT ELEGANT KALIFORNIA, based on a text on Immanuel Kant's dress code. It featured native Southern California flora covered with high fashion garments, a response to Kant's stylistic sense: he matched colors based on flowers because, "Nature doesn't produce what doesn't cater to the eyes."
