CORPUS
is a fully 3D printed book exploring the relationships between materiality and mortality, dimensionality and causality; the afterlife of the codex. In the permanent collection of Singapore Art Museum.
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. The TPU 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.
