The Picture Book as an Object

Catarina Sobral (Illustrator and Picture Book Maker)

The picture book is a physical object – an art object – and its phenomenology is part of the experience of reading it. Its shape, texture, size, weight makes that experience performative. From Munari’s libri illeggibili to David Carter’s pop-up books, the materiality of the picture book is a way to communicate sense.
