ABOUT TIME
~
About Time is a book that comes from a concept from a text by David Foster Wallace, “Something fun that I will never repeat.” The idea was taken from the meaning of time. In the text, Foster describes the delights of life aboard the ship, the garbage of humanity that lies on an area where time doesn’t effect. The ship does sail from place to place, but the scenarios on deck always take place in the same place and they don’t move anywhere.
The format doesn’t have a binding and can be dismantled and reassembled - like time.
The photos was taken by Mandy Backer, a British photographer who spent about five years in a boat around the world in order to collect garbage and plastic from the sea and made art new from it.
The colorful images are photographs of garbage, while the black and white images are photographs from Mandy’s blog she recorded throughout her journey.
The book is accompanied by an application of AR technology, in which the user can search between animated images.
I wanted to examine the issue of the combination of print and screen design, in those days, people saying that the print would soon disappear from the world, and one of my goals was to prove that they could work together. PRINT IS NOT DEAD.
In this way, I combined typography- Lettersat from the 1970s with today’s print technology.
