The Inner Monologue of a Book is a concept that tries to behold the state of the codex
from a unique perspective. The monologue reads the thoughts of a book, as it contemplates
whether the codex will still survive in its traditional form or whether the E-book, it’s younger
relative, will take it’s place. These are the reflections of a self-understanding book, who looks
back onto the great triumphs that bound paper and text have achieved over centuries.
The booklet is part of the BOOKLET LIBRARY collection in Tokyo, the Museum of the Manuscripts of Mont-Saint-Michel in France, the Research Centre for Artists’ Publications in Weserburg Bremen Germany and at the archive at MACBA in Barcelona, Spain.
