Sedek (crack)

Elad Larom

2021

The book came out of a student exercise in a yearlong course on artist’s books. Using a Tel Aviv Museum catalogue as his raw material, Larom created a collage out of paper strips placed side by side, in a surrealist spirit, in an attempt to find a slit or crack in reality.
