Tree of codes

Via Designboom:

"(...)jonathan safran foer’s new book tree of codes, pushes book design to new levels in an age of digital publishing. the book appears quite average on the exterior, but once you flip it open each page is precisely die cut to have only a few words exposed. the text inside the book is taken from the street of crocodiles by bruno schulz and given a new interpretation through the unusual printing technique. the book was designed by sara de bondt studio, published by visual editions and features cover artwork by gray318. after being shot down by almost every printer, belgium’s die keure agreed to make the book using a different die-cut pattern on every page. the whole project took over a year, but it demonstrates how a printed book can achieve things never possible on an e reader device."

Jeg er fra før glad i Jonathan Safran Foer, en jødisk-amerikansk forfatter med en forunderlig verden og språk (se filmen "everything is illuminated" for hurtig innføring), og nå har han gjort noe gøy igjen. Jeg ønsker meg denne boka som bare det.

Hm. Innleggene mine bærer fremdeles preg av at jeg ikke kommer meg mye ut av døra for tiden. Det ventes tålmodig.
