With this work I wanted to investigate the relation between the contents of a book, and how they can vary from reader to reader. The Smiley Oracle is a toy, and a book art object.
The edition is limited to 16. The books are numbered and signed. The book listed here, visible in the first three pictures, is book number 4. Together with the book you get a little booklet which contains some information about the oracle and the artist (that would be me).
If you would rather have a different color combination, drop me a note. If I still have it, I'll put it up personally for you (in the last two pictures you can see them all together).
The book's 320 pages are 5cm x 4,5cm small (about 1 13/16" x 2 inch). Each book sits in its own tiny slipcase with the title on it.
160 of the 320 pages carry a smiley face (always the right hand side). These are hand printed from 18 different hand cut lino blocks. The book is bound in so called Coptic style, with the thread visible on the spine.
