Bookstores Are Like A Forest Of Words, Bursting With Writing, Languages, Semiotics, Messages And Knowledge. Standing In This Forest We Pick Up A Book And Through The Act Of Reading Seek To Satisfy Our Inner Desire For Knowledge As We Explore The Cosmos And The Philosophy Of Life, Developing Our Own Distinctive Character And Cultural-Artistic Tastes In The Process.
By Cutting And Pasting, Iida Ryuta Transforms The Way In Which We Read Books. Through The Act Of Sculpture He Takes The Individual Pages Of Books And Carefully Cuts And Pastes Them Symmetrically, Both Cutting And Opening The Book. In The Same Picture We See All The Pages, Reading All The Information At The Same Time. After Being Cut The Words Fine Semiotics And These Intermittent Symbols Ensure That The Message Conveyed By The Book Is No Longer Important. They Rhythm Of Linear Reading No Longer Exists, The Need For Textual Interpretation Is Gone, Reading That Revolves Around Visual Experience Is What Really Matters.
When Absorbing A Large Volume Of Information, Take Time To Step Back And Look At It From A Different Angle And With Different Eyes And Just Maybe You Will See Things Even More Clearly.
You are all set!
