MAR
How to look at a book differently? Is this a book? Is it a bundle? Raising questions like these opens a fruitful discussion about books in general and with MAR these considerations were obviously debated. A regular book is finished and not changeable anymore. By contrast, MAR is never finished. This book is in a way performance because it asks the viewer to act and play with the pages and make his own interpretation of photographs. Why? Because it is not bound, so it is possible to take every page out and change its order. In this way, the role of the spectator ‘can’ be very important. The choice of thick paper leaves no room for a quick browse. In the middle of the book there is booklet with poems, which is a sufficient way of separating text and image while giving them full and equal attention. This forces the viewer to take time and use the imagery as fragments, leaving space for the spectator to evoke new narratives with every re-arrangement to get lost in a very intimate world of personal belongings, fabrics and memories. Everything is then wrapped in a cover that is a full printed image and kept together through an elastic band with a title printed on top.
