Artist Brian Dettmer cuts into books with surgical tools, creating new pictures and interpretations from the preexisting pages.
By highlighting the weight and depth of physical books, he draws attention to those aspects which can’t be replicated with e-readers. Without adding or moving anything, Dettmer finds “new relationships of the book’s internal elements exactly where they have been since their original conception.”
