Title and statement of responsibility from the book artist.
One-of-a-kind artist book using as base 1 vintage art book (Timebends); all pages up to and including page 394 have partially cut out centers, leaving a rectangular frame showcasing a grid which, once uncovered, reveals a three-dimensional city seen from above. Its buildings are made from partially illustrated pages cut from the same book and folded or rolled and into various shapes and outlines. Layered hills studded with smaller residences embed the city between them. No text by the book artist inside book. (Original page numbering and printed text relevant as material only).
