Keith A. Smith created this book titled book 91, this was a 50 book limited collection. known as the string book,
This book forces the reader to move from one page to another, forward or back, this movement, thread and cut outs in each page encourages the viewer to explore more and move Forward through the sting to the next open page. this also makes it more of an interactive sculptural form. there is a clever use of light as the effect of the string shaddows on the pages.
“The sound, cast light and shadows and their focus and movement are not part of the physical book. They are physical but they only come into existence during the act of experiencing the book, that is, turning the page.” JONATHAN A. HILL, BOOKSELLER, INC. 2020. Book 91 By Keith A.

I think light will play a strong roll in the book form I am creating. I want to create a book that explores isolation, enclosing the man between layers of translucent papers will allow me to create depth an context and the light will be beneficial to exaggerate the negative space.
