Synopsis

Top Top. Fotografie in bianco e nerodi Liam Magee Softcover (double spine, perfect bound) in cardboard envelope, design by Oliver Boulton, editors Liam Magee, Oliver Boulton, Duncan Wooldridge, Sigune Hamann. 8vo (26x21 cm). pp. 36. . Ottimo (Fine). . . . The idea behind the book (Top Top) is that it has to be void before it is seen. I designed the book to have two perforated spines, so whichever spine you tear determines what orientation you view the book in. All the images inside are ambiguous in their orientation; they are depicting everyday objects but in a way that means you can't determine which way you are elsquo;meant' to view them in. Whichever way you rotate the book it could be the elsquo;right' or the elsquo;wrong' way to view the images. This links back to my interest in our perception and understanding of objects.Winner of Camberwell Book Prize. Tutte le immagini all'interno sono ambigue; ritraggono oggetti quotidiani. In qualsiasi modo si ruoti il libro potrebbe essere il modo "giusto" o "sbagliato" di vedere le immagini. Questo si ricollega al mio interesse nella nostra percezione e comprensione degli oggetti.
