Work Details

A book you can read by closing it. Each page has the letters “tree” and “one,” which suggest that the book is made of wood and is composed of letters. When the viewer closes the book, the story ends as a book that becomes a book.

In this work, I tried to reimagine books as objects. The experience of reading is generated in the relationship with a book as an object, and at the same time, it makes us aware of the ambivalence that a book is both a medium (medium) and always an object.
