CORPUS

is a fully 3D printed book exploring the relationships between materiality and mortality, dimensionality and causality; the afterlife of the codex. Part of hyperpress.

Entombed within this codex are cross-sectional slices of open-source 3D models of trees, dispossessed of its volume in another dimension (3D), and presented as flat (2D) bodies. Framed as a hauntological artefact, the book is filled with lore and images on how 3D printing reconciles with the “death of print”. CORPUS explores the 3D printed book not as a successor but the afterlife of the paper book; a codex of another dimension.
