Description

Acts of Translation is a uniquely designed book collection that offers multiple reading experiences. The binding allows readers to expand the volume and view all five books simultaneously, read two books side by side, or explore each book individually. The entire collection is bound together by a shared spine and protected within a slipcase. Each of the five sections is a distinct artistic work, featuring unique imagery and paper types. A collaborative group created these sections, with each one exploring a different 'act of translation,' which they define as 'the conversation and communication of information.' The diverse group of creators includes a photographer, a biology professor, a type designer, a soprano performer, and an elementary Spanish teacher—each bringing a unique perspective to the project." The revised text maintains the original's informative content while improving flow, providing more context, and enhancing readability. The structure now more clearly highlights the book's innovative design and the collaborative nature of its creation.
