Exhibition “The Shape of the Book” is inspired by Kurt Vonnegut’s talk “Shape of the story” (about presenting a hero’s journey in graphic form).
The idea behind this exhibition is to present the selected novels (dystopic, fantastic and non-linear type) in form of one graphic logo/symbol/ideogram. The presented logos are representation of the described spaces, hierarchies or relations in the selected novels.
The outcome is something between creative didactics learn & play material, intermedia experience readers companions, and simply different types of the invitation to explore books.
The exhibition consists of three segments:
Destination dystopia / dystopic novels – 11 logos representing spaces and hierarchies in selected novels accompanied by small scenes documented via photography.
Fantastic polygon / fantastic novels – 5 logos representing spaces in selected novels in a form of 3D anaglyphs.
Hidden Structures / non-linear novels – 4 logos representing relations in the selected novels in form of flipbooks and digital illustraitons.
