what a pretty way to destroy books. i suppose it's better than burning them.
Cool. Book art/sculpture is popular here in Ann Arbor -there are even Rec and Ed classes you can take. Much more fun than simply recycling unwanted books.
But.... these photos just don't look "right" to me. the lighting/shadows seem wrong/artificial/shopped. Which would be weird because this is an established art form....
Good plan for those useless encyclopedias... except for the end of civilization thing...

They look pretty normally lit to me. They may have been extra sharpened or saturated, it's hard to say. They do have an extra sort of POP to them.
Perhaps he coated the whole thing in some kind of polyurethane once he was done? I'm not certain the book would hold that lovely arched-out form on its own.
Ii can't put my finger on it, but it's like the images don't match the backgrounds. I feel like there's that cropping-tell-tale black line around them, but why? you know, the one that tells you the foreground's been dropped onto a different background... except there's nothing incriminating/special in the background here, so that obviously isn't the case.....

No, no see, this way, we can burn books
and art,
at the same time.
Where was this guy, when they were making Fahrenheit 451?? :rolleyes:
