One Minute Stories
A bilingual book with
a hourglass cover.
This is my bilingual edition of a book of one-page novels by István Örkény. I was curious how can I incorporate movement and time into a book, so I turned the cover into a functioning hourglass. The trick is, English texts in the book are printed upside down, so with each "turn" the timer in the cover starts over again. The books are handbinded, and were born as a result of a lot of experiments involving sand, seeds and glue. The illustrations in the book are made of different seeds, photographed on a lighttable I built using my chair, some plexi and a table lamp. The project won the Ukrainian Book Design Awards & featured on Sagmeister's social media.
