Brian Dettmer: i libri si trasformano in scultura
Libri che diventano contenitori o, meglio, cornici di sculture. Pagine che assumono forme tridimensionali e raccontano attraverso le forme le storie. È il lavoro di Brian Dettmer con le sue Book Autopsies. Sul percorso artistico di Dettmer dice la voce a lui dedicata su Wikipedia:
Dettmer’s work involves the alteration of preexisting media to transform the physical form and/or to selectively remove and reveal content to create new works of fine art. Dettmer explains: “Old books, records, tapes, maps, and other media frequently fall into a realm that too much of today’s art occupies. Their intended role has decreased or deceased and they often exist simply as symbols of the ideas they represent rather than true conveyers of content. When an object’s intended function is fleeting, the necessity for a new approach to its form and content arises.
