Flip Book: Word Play






RECONSTRUCTING THE SCENE: NOV 2005
Layering becomes interactive when depth and dimension are added to the book page. The space of a book is changed through cutting away pages. Viewers can look at the book in space through the z axis, not just on the expected x and y dimensions of typical pages. New verbal juxtapositions are constructed through flipping the top and bottom pages at different intervals. The original words describing the plaza scene are compound nouns that can divided into two new stand-alone words: neighborhood, outlook, courtyard, outside, sundown, paintbrush, afternoon, nighttime, outdoor, viewpoint, openair, framework, stilllife, sketchbook, background, cobblestone, tree branch, sunset, landscape, clocktower, oaktree, brushstroke, gaslamp, sunlight, countryside, foothill.
