I - THE BOOK
The Book is wrapped in a soft and fragile paper, the reader has to tear it off to discover the book.
The binding is made with a raw and thick glue. The different layers of paper are visible through the binding.
All the colored pictures are numbered and printed on sticker paper. They are disposed in a separated transparent sleeve.
The reader has to stick the pictures back in the book to reconstruct it.
The title appears on the spine.
