Twice Two

"Twice-two-makes-four is a farcical, dressed-up fellow who stands across your path with arms akimbo and spits at you. Mind you, I quite agree that twice-two-makes-four is a most excellent thing; but if we are to give everything its due, then twice-two-makes-five is sometimes a most charming little thing, too." -from Notes from the Underground, Dostoevsky 1864
I made this book for the Aperture ‘What Matters Now: Proposals for a New Front Page’ exhibition. The front and back cover are wrapped with the text from John Keats’ famous letter to his brother and sister, commonly known as ‘The Vale of Soul-Making.’ The rest of the book is full of blank pages and hangs in the Aperture gallery with the hope that people will fill it with what they wish, thus giving the book an Identity, or Soul. Below is an excerpt from the letter.
