'the scanner' installation of books by Matej Kren at the Museum of Modern Art in Bologna
The 'Liber Floridus' is essentially a compilation of extracts from nearly two hundred late Classical and early Medieval works by authors such as Isidore of Seville, Orosius, Julius Honorius, Pomponius Mela, Solinus, Venerable Bede, Rabanus Maurus, Pseudo-Callisthenes and Martianus Capella. There are, unsurprisingly, biblical dimensions to the manuscript, including a description of the Apocalypse, and the final illustration above depicts Noah's Ark, for instance.

Texas artist Veronica Salazar created these flawlessly crafted folded books. Amazing, no?

Jennifer Harding I feel like all of these books open up to reveal passages to other dimensions.
Jessica Molnar yeah, they probably do!
