AS ENCICLOPÉDIAS DE ALEXANDER KORZER-ROBINSON

AS ENCICLOPÉDIAS DE ALEXANDER KORZER-ROBINSON

(obvious) por Jéssica Parizotto

Enciclopédias fazem parte da memória de muitos antigos estudantes, em tempos em que o acesso a internet ainda não existia, ou era muito restrito, eram elas as rainhas do conhecimento. A palavra, de origem grega, resume bem o papel que elas tinham: “circular o conhecimento”. E eram livros encantadores, repletos de ilustrações e conteúdos dos mais diversos tipos. É…

“I make book sculptures by working through a book, page by page, cutting around some of the illustrations while removing others. In this way, I build my composition using only the images found in the book.

Through my work in the tradition of collage, I am pursuing the very personal obsession of creating narrative scenarios in small format. Using antiquarian books makes the work at the same time an exploration and a deconstruction of nostalgia. We create our own past from fragments of reality in a process that combines the willful aspects of remembering and forgetting with the coincidental and unconscious. On a general level, I aim to illustrate this process that forms our inner landscape.”

“By using pre-existing media as a starting point, certain boundaries are set by the material, which I aim to transform through my process. Thus, an encyclopedia can become a window into an alternate world, much like lived reality becomes its alternate in remembered experience. These books, having been stripped of their utilitarian value by the passage of time, regain new purpose. They are no longer tools to learn about the world, but rather a means to gain insight about oneself.”

I can't even wrap my head around how amazing these cut out books by artist @alexanderkorzerrobinson are, let alone how they're even done!!!! "Alexander Korzer-Robinson completely redefines the term ‘picture book’. Taking old illustrated texts, Korzer-Robinson creates beautiful 3D collages by painstakingly cutting away words, paragraphs and pages to reveal the hidden images that lie within the books. We talk to the Bristol-based collagist about bibliophilia, the thin line between destruction and creation, and becoming a full-time artist." https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFLZJPAsyb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1oxgz2pj63qv3
