0H!Life
: experiments in packaging an oeuvre.
This final year project concerns packaging the ephemeral, capturing the fleeting and organizing and designing around time and life. The deliverables will be 6 artist books titled OH!life, or Cest la vie— the OH referring to the artist herself. The books are autobiographies, with visual, written and aural explorations and translations of life. The content and materials of the deliverables aim to reproduce specific sensations. The books also include highly experimental forms and illustrative techniques. What is most important is that this is not a traditional oeuvre, but an experimental packaging of the ephemeral.
0H!Life conveys a complexity of emotions associated with the passing of time, which emanates from capturing moments that would otherwise be gone, all the while acknolwedging that the only constant is change itself. On a meta level these experiments aim to expand the role of the book and of the oeuvre through form and content.
Stuck at how I should package these books. I think they need to be tied together with some sort of coherency. Will representative colours and bold white helvetica text on the packaging be enough? it seems a little boring. i need guidiance
