Once Upon a Time There Was and Will Be So Much More 恆久以前,自此之後

《恆久以前,自此之後》(暫譯)是一本以頁面尺寸的大小變化來轉譯時間遠近的書。故事從過去一路發展至現在再到未來,內頁的大小也隨之改變。越無法掌握、充滿想像空間的遙遠過去及未來,被賦予了越大的頁面空間,而最具體的當下,自然是最小的頁面;浩瀚的時間流逝,就這樣在頁面輪廓從大至小、從小至大的漸變中,變得清晰可見。

 

This book visualizes time through the changing sizes of pages. As the story progresses from the past to the present and then to the future, the page size also shifts—larger for distant and imaginative pasts and futures, and smallest for the palpable present. The vast time span is materialized perceptibly via transformations from larger to small and then to larger size of pages.
