A Book of Sorts for Unconventional Publishing, 68 pages, 110 × 160 mm, 2020
The first aim of this brief was to make a book that was self-reflexive, that is a book that refers to itself, and its conventions and creation. This is done by taking elements particular to books and subverting them, such as replacing the page numbers with symbolic markers which move as the book progresses. Also, the contents page (slash front cover) offers loose descriptions and vague references to what each double-spread contains. The second aim was to draw associations between various “things”. The book meanders between these “things” and their connections, which are made through visual or thematic similarities.
