PROJECT SCOPE
Book Design

A book featuring Olafur Eliasson's artwork alongside Ted Chiang's short story Division by Zero. It focuses on the unraveling and distortion of reality, with colorful spreads and materials that play with light.

Olafur Eliasson is known for his use of light and color, and this book reflects that. With vibrant gradients and holographic pages, it explores the idea of reality breaking apart. Paired with Ted Chiang’s story about a mathematician discovering that math isn’t absolute, the design mirrors this unraveling. The type fractures, gradients expand, and the images bookending the piece, shift from structured geometry to ambient light explorations.
