TINY BOOK

The digitization of the artifacts and their relative mass distribution through various communication channels, whether digital or analog, significantly eclipses the immediate experience of art. We must therefore treat this issue as an almost sensual experience of art exhibitions, and how they can be conveyed through a visual communication product.

The project explores the possibilities of the book as an extended form of the exhibition. It challenges traditional dialectical categories such as the exhibition and its catalog, and the aura of the original artistic work and its copy.

The resulting output is a miniature book, a printed publication that aims to translate the exhibition space into a space between two book covers. Present in the tiny book are textural, 1:1 scale details of the artworks that are visible in the exhibition. This “catalog” sheds new light on the printed material as a possibility to convey the aura of the artworks beyond the museum space.
