About the Item
Brave New World, the carved book by South African artist, Barbara Wildenboer is part of the Library of the Infinitesimally Small and Unimaginably Large, an ongoing project that started in 2011. The altered books are made from found books, particularly old books of maps and atlases. The books become both reference and raw material for sculptures, paper installations and digital animation. The books, sentences, words and letters become elements of a new visual narrative in which the old and new forms co-exist.
Through the act of altering books, and other paper based objects, the intention is to draw emphasis to our understanding of history as mediated through text or language and our understanding of the abstract terms of science through metaphor. The choice of the paperback version of Brave New World was a reflection of the times.
