‘Observations From a Fixed Position’ by James Langdon.
I made two printed editions of the essay ‘Observations From a Fixed Position’ by James Langdon. Edition one requires to use as little agency as possible. Edition two requires to use as much agency as I would like. The design decisions made (such as defining grids, choosing fonts, and collecting content, images, or resources) came from considerations about the content of the text. Interpretation of the text is considered when choosing sizes, formats, printing techniques, bindings, etc.
The first Version is a hard cover book bind with fabric designed in traditional style.
The second version is a vintage television shape viewer with turnable gears.
