between
Where does a book end?
Is it in the last sentence?
The final page?
Or does it keep stretching beyond its covers?
Spaces Between is not a book to hold.
A 60-inch scroll spills out, refusing the traditional page format. Reading is no longer a quiet act, it’s movement, time, and space.
New Kind of Reading
Collages flowing from threads, turning as you walk by. Meaning isn’t static it’s layered, suspended, always in motion.
The covers don’t bind. Made from reused materials, they carry history within them, stamped with Persian inspired Lino prints echoes of time, culture.
At the back, a poster is visible. It's supposed to be a dust jacket. But instead of protecting the book, it expands its boundaries, becoming part of the work itself.
A collection of pages?
Random words on
the paper?
Or is it something felt in the space between the lines, the time between the unfolding?
Spaces Between doesn’t give you
an answer.
It asks you to find
your own.
So, What is a Book?
How it started.
It started with the Bruno Munari’s idea that “a book is an object,” this work shows how books fill up the space while showing the interactive experience of reading. It also explains the connections or “nets” between the body, process, and passing of time.
Building on Kenya Hara’s ideas of “books as information sculptures”, books remain important in the digital age because of their physical and spatial qualities. Spaces Between embodies this idea, transforming the book into a multidimensional experience where its form, and movement contribute to its meaning.
The Process
It went through the cuts of the images of the past to create the collages and passed through the variation of book covers for the cover, and it turned as a poster. The pages went through the process of just a display but it wasn’t enough. The book needed movement and a passage of time, so it stretched to a 60 inches scroll. The materials carried their own memories with being made from reused material.
