The CavarPayer Design Studio took over the design of Frakcija in 2000. Under their direction, individual issues of Frakcija are separate thematic experiments with radical interventions not only in the layout but also in the very structure of the publication. The first issue in this experimental sequence is issue 19, with the Energy topic, which explores the borders of layout fragmentation to the very edge of legibility. The “vacuumed” issue 20/21 is dedicated to the topic of actor and/as author, and is symbolically pared down in both basic material form — no covers — and in the layout, which hardly can be said to exist. Its match, number 22/23 (Radicalisms of Eastern Europe), has boards and is bound in black cloth, while the black book metaphor is underscored by appearance of Fraktur, the favourite typeface of the Nazi regime.
