Organs of Emotion
Douglas Fitch, Brooklyn, New York, 2001
Description
Whereas the exhibition “Organs of Emotion” was about ideas for a new anatomy based on human emotions, this book, the catalogue accompanying the exhibition, is about depicting emotions in the language of art. As such, the cover is intended to represent a kind of outer tissue for these invented emotional organs, with the book inside being a bladder of ideas. The holes in the cover are meant to facilitate osmosis of those ideas, and come partially removed to encourage interaction with the book’s absorbee.
What I like is that it looks like a feeling and it feels the way it looks.
