To give old books “another chance to tell a story”, artist Keri Muller transformed them into imaginative artworks and installations that often involve crafting them into origami-inspired shapes.
While Muller has also created smaller pieces of book art featuring rolled up or cut up pages, it is her larger wall art made of several books that caught our eyes—recently, she made a piece named “Forests of the Future” for TEDx Cape Town.
Working with the existing structure of the book, she turns what is normally perceived to be rubbish into thought-provoking art—some of her installations resemble strange paper animal taxidermy.
