The Mythology of Violence by Beste Birer is a series of six books that together form “a perusal of violence in cinema over six directors”.
Each book looks at the work of a different director, with fold-out stills from their films interspersed between the pages that cleverly represent reoccurring themes or techniques within their work:
Folded imagery hidden from view that links to the voyeuristic themes of David Lynch’s films…
Images that are revealed gradually as you open up the book reference Quentin Tarantino…
Oliver Stone’s “collage style” is represented by cuts and folds…
A simple clean fold referencing “geometry” and “dimension” are used for Stanley Kubrick…
Martin Scorsese’s revealing of character is presented with a curtain fold…
Whilst Sergio Leone’s “panoramic views” are depicted with a wide concertina fold.
Great work. What a playful and engaging way to include imagery within a book.
This is art!
wow i love the concept
