Inside-Out
A book that’s pages have been cut into diagonal strips and reformed into a brick, half-sticking out the top of a cover made of wooden pencils. The pencils have been carved to curve at their centers, accommodating a rubber band binding the book together with the words “INSIDE-OUT András Böröcz 1996” written across it.
