Can you imagine coordinating the production on something like this? I love that it’s tactile and involving – kind of like a grown-up version of a pop-up book.

A work of publishing magic, Jonathan Safran Foer’s Tree of Codes marries paper sculpture, interactive art and print. The text, a story in itself, is actually formed by die-cutting and repurposing the words of another book: The Street of Crocodiles by Bruno Schulz.

Brilliant idea, brilliant execution. And good inspiration for those moments when aligning a single letterpress plate seems frustrating!
