Collins Library acquired this book for our Archives & Special Collections and will serve as a prototype and source of inspiration for Makers! We plan to re-create this design this summer and hope this book inspires you to think about what you can create.

“Perhaps no other book in this exhibition suggests the vastness of the photobook’s future so much as Tom Burtonwood’s Orihon, a 3D-printed accordion-fold volume containing scans of ancient sculptural objects. Orihon announces its tactility and embraces both history and prospect, infusing the book with true DIY ingenuity.”
