Here is a modern movable and pop-up book, about Renaissance art, by Stephen Farthing (Renaissance Art Pop-Up Book, 2012; pop-ups by David Hawcock). The section shown here is about the discovery of perspective, and use of the camera obscura. On the left page is a tab you can pull to see an animation of how an image is reversed in the camera. In the center is a pop-up of a camera, and if you look inside of it, you can see an illustration of the reflected image of the pop-up skyline. At the bottom right is an accordion pop-up of Raphael’s “School of Athens” fresco, which you can expand toward you to observe how perspective of the layers changes. The book even comes with cardboard, working camera obscura, which folds down and fits into a drawer built into the book’s back cover.
Hi HyperRitual,
excellent presentation so far. I think that the figure from Matthew Reinhart & Robert Sabuda’s Encyclopaedia Mythologica volume, Dragons & Monsters, is the Medusa and not the Sphinx. I’m not 100% certain about this, but I can deduct it from her snakey hair.
Keep up with the great work,
Plethon.
Hi, Nick. Thanks for taking time to check out my work. Look at the lower-right corner of the book; that is the transition I am referring to in the speech/text. :-)
Right, I get it now, thank you for pointing it out. I have finished watching the slide show and I find it brilliant. It does motivate to go out and start doing, creating, interacting… Please produce more work like this, we’re so thirsty for this kind of quality.
Cheers, man!
