3-Dimensional Possibility of the Book

Three book artists, who work in different genres, talk about their approach to papercraft book design in this video by PBS. Their works range greatly in style: a familiar pop-up form that tells a traditionally scripted story; a collection of dimensional scenes, each illustrated page telling a silent story that knits together while progressing through the images, akin to individual cells in a graphic novel; to book craft as art, playing with the book as medium to extract new meaning from the intrinsic structure and greater philosophical nature of the book as an object.
