Pieter Laurens Mol : leporello n° 6

In his contribution to the Leporello Series, Pieter Laurens Mol challenges the viewer with a paradox; an artist’s book demanding tactile interaction, articulating a prohibition against such engagement. Traces of the artist’s own touch are evident on the front and back of the leporello, further prompting an impulse to experience the book by allowing one’s hand to traverse the paper’s surface. The blind embossed message appeals to our inherent mischievous nature, seemingly suggesting that established norms are subject to defiance. (bron: website uitgever)
