The Feast, Volume 1
Creator:
Um, Tomi
Description:
One of a set of four books. Each duotone book is held together with a paper bookmark and contained within a translucent envelope. Edition of 100. From printedmatter.org: "...a series of limited edition fold-out books by Tomi Um. Entitled The Feast, Um's four-volume set tells the story of a group of playful monks obsessed with noodles. In each book, the monks set off on a quest to find or create the aromatic dish, which they eventually eat and offer to Buddha. Screenprinted with silver and red inks, Um's beautifully rendered drawings become more elaborate as the book unfolds, culminating in a poster-size composition aswarm with activity centering on the object of the monks' passion."
