A Book Is A Body

Abstract or Summary of Project

A Book Is A Body is an editorial project, which shows the similarities between a book and a body through three parts: Skin, Flesh and Soul.

Skin Affairs, talks about the form and appearance of a book and why parts of a book are named after the anatomy of a human body. Flesh Out, explores the concept of paper, a material made up of fibers which is similar to the flesh. Inner Soul, talks about the intangible aspect of a book; the way a book is written, the intimate relationship between a reader and a book. A book is almost like a person – has a personality and a tone of voice. All of which, makes a book a body.
