| working (in) process: flip! and more flip!s |
|
Through
the search for the imagery of reading, “flip!” was born. Taking the
practice of reading further by introducing a cinematic medium.
“flip!” is a book within a book: The physical presence of Tsou’s
original book is “dissolved” from its three-dimensional form, through
photographic means, reducing it to two-dimensions. These photos are
then bound together returning it to the material world creating the
“flip!”.
The modified imagery from the original book-object can be observed
objectively as the relationship between the original and its reader is
distinctly separated through the dematerialization process. However,
traces of the original reading motion (in the turning of a page) is
maintained through the changing images whilst flipping. “flip!” itself
builds the second stage of reading, promoting awareness of the reading
process and giving insight into how the book was originally experienced.
Henceforth, “flip!” becomes a new standalone object with its own
distinctive materiality and appearance. The synesthetic experience of
reading the original can now be compared with those of the flipbook.
flip! presents the reading process in a visual way: A commentary on
reading.
