STITCHING LIGHT

Concept: Stitching Light is a metaphorical conversation between In Jerusalem by Tamim Al-Barghouti and Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino.

Medium: Scanner art, experimental typography, publication design, perfect binding

Stitching light weaves in between the messages of Al-Barghouti’s love of Jerusalem, laced with loss and fear and anger and saddness, and Calvino’s poetic accounts of forgotten cities serving as symbols of a fantasized reality.

“everything in the city has a tongue which, when you ask, will reply.”
