Oulipo - an Art Book

Oulipo is a mixture of literature and math; it is experimental poetry and constrains different layers. 

​Since Oulipo is a combination of layers, I decided to translate the same concept for the pages. I envisioned it to be an art object. The pages are individual objects that have no particular order. The reader has the freedom to choose any ranking he/she likes.

​The eggshell white color paper slides into the transparent postcard. The reader can see a bit of the text from outside. After sliding, the whole text is visible. The book is an exploration of the creative effects of applying stylistic and grammatical constraints.

Oulipo

Social distancing, self-imposed quarantine, enduring isolation, getting different messages from different organizations, hysterically washing hands - this is our new reality, this is the era we live in now.

Things, that I touch are the objects from my daily routine. They express how my days go in quarantine. I observe the environment where they exist but this time in a different way. Through the objects, I create a structure and discipline not to lose control of our reality.
