Jonathan Safran Foer’s new book is insane.
Entitled “Tree of Codes,” it is a collection of die-cut pages from his favorite book, Bruno Schulz’s “The Street of Crocodiles.” Made as an exploration of “the pages’ physical relationship to one another” and the die-cut technique, Foer attempts to create a meaningful narrative with an existing text.
Printers didn’t want to touch it, saying “the book you want to make just cannot be made.” Until, of course a Belgian printer said Challenge Accepted, and this was made.
Questo “libro” dovrebbe essere una via di mezzo tra il design, la scultura e la letteratura. Un oggetto da tenere sul tavolo Tromsa di Ikea mentre leggiamo il nostro E-zine sul Macbook Air, e sorseggiamo del buon Chardonnay californiano, assaporando del sushi macrobiotico.
L’artista si chiama Jonathan Safran Foer, il libro “Tree of Codes”, il prezzo quarantaeuri (con 15 € me lo compro senza buchi).
