Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A masterful work of storytelling, a unique sculptural object created through a collaborative process between Visual Editions and author. A curiosity with the die-cut technique was combined with the pages' physical relationship to one another and how this could somehow be developed to work with a meaningful narrative. This led to Jonathan deciding to use an existing piece of text and cut a new story out of it - his favourite book, The Street of Crocodiles by Bruno Schulz. Writing, cutting and proto-typing has created a new story cut from the words of an old favourite.
"In order to write Tree of codes, the author took an English language edition of Bruno Schulz's The street of crocodiles and cut into its pages, carving out a new story"--T.p. verso.
