-----

The artist book Interior is an experiment of artist Juliana Cerqueira Leite to interpret her inner body sensations questioning the conventional anatomy representations.

For this artbook Juliana created drawings that aim to represent her impressions on a sensorial trip into the interior of her body, starting from the mouth, passing through different organs until getting to the anus and back.

The book is composed by 22 color drawings in 3 different formats especially developed for this publication and reproduced in real scale, including a notebook facsimile the artist wrote during her reflections on her body for the creative process behind the drawings.

Playing with scales makes of this book-object a sensorial and sculptural dynamic experience. The choice for a loose binding, where the diptychs are only held by an elastic increases the feeling.

This is a limited edition of 250 copies of which 25 are a special edition that includes an embossed sculptural cover, handprinted by the artist on a traditional engraving press at EFA Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop, NYC, the oldest and longest-running community print shop in the United States. The special edition comes enclosed in an Italian paper handmade box with a hot stamping finish.
