Catalogue
Our work.
The catalogue lists what the gallery shows: websites Kultmeister has built — one per genre, each with its brief, our answer, its stele and its measures. Built to the same measure we offer.
For people and ventures whose name is the business: advisors who sell judgement. Artists whose work sets the room. Founders who need to look more solid than their headcount allows.

The personal website
“One name. Several volumes.”
One person, several ventures — one address where you find them all.
- Brief
- You appear under your own name, with work, photography and travel on separate domains — and need one address that connects it all without turning into a résumé.
- Answer
- A title page, as in a book: a preface, the ventures as volumes, one contact. Every venture is a reference — the page itself shows the care.

Work 02 · Advisory website
The advisory brand
“Better decisions. Stronger execution.”
Position an independent executive advisory — clearer than the industry it sits in.
- Brief
- You sell judgement — your website has to show authority without the industry’s phrases, and lead to a conversation in a single visit.
- Answer
- Less is the stance here: one sentence, one offer, one contact. Calm type and generous space carry the authority, and every claim can be checked.

Work 03 · Fine-art website
The fine-art portfolio
“Landscape, recorded without flattery.”
Show photographic work large and offer it as signed editions — the image comes first.
- Brief
- Your art needs a website that shows large, loads fast and carries the sale of an edition — without competing with the work.
- Answer
- The type steps back and the space belongs to the image: large pictures, fast pages, editions with a certificate — enquired about rather than put in a cart.

The photography shop
“What hangs right now.”
Sell images — prints and licences — without the sale crowding out the image.
- Brief
- You want to sell pictures — and you want people to want to look at them before prices and buttons enter the frame.
- Answer
- The shop sits behind the gallery: 202 pages, each showing a picture first; formats, prices and checkout appear only when you look for them.

Work 05 · Product website
The software product site
“Best-in-category, or it doesn’t release.”
A house for AI-native digital products — make the technology tangible without showing off.
- Brief
- Your product portfolio should read as a stance — few products, one standard, built for years — instead of drowning in buzzwords.
- Answer
- A site as a space you move through, with its own poster for devices without a graphics card — a stance instead of a feature list, every claim replaced by a measurement.

Work 06 · Travel magazine
The travel magazine
“At home, out in the world.”
Ten years on the road in one’s own vehicle — regions, gear, know-how and pictures as a magazine to look things up in, not a blog.
- Brief
- Your magazine lives on pictures and is read on a phone — edge to edge, fast, with over thirty pages people still find years later.
- Answer
- Single-column, edge to edge, every image in the light AVIF format — built for the phone, fast even on the road, with a design that lets the pictures go first.

The studio website
“Websites built to last.”
The studio website of Kultmeister — the exhibition you are standing in.
- Brief
- You are buying care — and you want to see it, not read about it.
- Answer
- This site is measured by the same standard as every other work, live and legible in the colophon — the exhibition is the reference.

Catalogue · Edition IIThe rule
The rule
How a website becomes a stele.
Every stele comes from the structure of the page, measured on the rendered original — the first one and a half screen widths, block by block, at 1 : 1 on a tablet of 1.6 × 2.4 m. Nothing is invented; every number can be checked against the original. The mapping is a rule set by the studio and applies to every work alike, this page included.
| Property | Measured as | Becomes |
|---|---|---|
| Measure | number of pages, measure of the text column, share of text | height (2.2 to 3.3 m), width (1.15 to 1.6 m), thickness of the stone |
| Headings | H1 to H3 | polished ridges, raised — on the front |
| Text | every line of a paragraph | one rib per line |
| Images | every picture, every graphic | glass inlay in which the actual crop of the sheet glows; the largest glass is the way in |
| Surfaces | containers with their own ground | coffer, recessed |
| Ink | the identity colour of the site | number, light groove, portal and light in the room |
| Name and number | domain and place in the exhibition | engraved into the plinth — the stele carries no set type; what is to be read stands on the label beside it |
| Room | number of pages, share of white space | depth of the room (13.6 to 16.8 m), width of the light ceiling |

The making-of
How the exhibition comes to be.
The gallery is not a rendering someone drew. It is computed from the websites it shows — in five steps that are the same for every work, this site included.
-
01
Measure
Every website is measured on the rendered original: the first one and a half screen widths block by block — headings, lines of text, images, surfaces with their position and size — plus the ink, the type, the number of pages, the share of white space, and the page itself as an image. The same measurement yields the figures on every stele: weight, first paint, pages.
-
02
Set
One rule translates measurement into form, the same for every work: headings become polished ridges, lines of text ribs, images glass with the actual crop, surfaces coffers — on the front of the stele, at its measure. The measure itself comes from the page: height from the number of pages, width from the measure of its text column, thickness from its share of text. The room, too, comes from the page — its depth from the number of pages, its light from the white space. The table above is that rule.
-
03
Build
Steles, rooms and house are built as geometry when the page loads — not as a model file. Computation instead of assets: plaster, oak and stone are material maps from an open library (CC0); everything else is code. The flight is an island in an otherwise quiet page; without it the gallery stands as text — this catalogue.
-
04
Light
Four times of day, bound to the visitor’s local time; daylight falls through the oculus of the rotunda and moves with the hour. Every room wakes when you come through its door. The sound is computed, not recorded: a reverb from the shape of the room, one bed per light room, only after the first gesture.
-
05
Check
Before every release the gates run: weight against the budget, accessibility, content policy, motion; before every acceptance, contrast on the image behind the type and collisions between text and controls as well. What the exhibition says about itself is in the colophon, legible there — it does not grade itself.
