The Perfect

Inspired by Jørgen Leth’s film, The Perfect is a pyramid-shaped book that explores the notion of human perfection and the underlying disorders that remain hidden behind.

I came up with a new binding form to demonstrate the imaginary perfect with the contrast that the top view presents a white space with only the words - the perfect - while the messiness and disorder keep developing on the other side. Besides, I documented the display with finger stalls to resonate with the imperfect elements of trimming nails in the film. (Less Text!)
