The book of oceans

Kurt Schranzer created this work as part of a group exhibition titled The Great Library, displayed in Sydney in 2002, based around the concept of three-dimensional ‘book-objects’ and two-dimensional drawing or painting on panels. The book-objects were, according to Schranzer: “books…without pages, having (most definitely) something of the structure of a book…where the structure is the defining narrative/dimension, not the text or illustration which is traditionally contained within; pages which are hard-panelled not paper. Narratives are structural and visual rather than literary.”
