The Holy Scriptures (Remix)

The Bible is the most widespread and most published written piece in the world. It is made of different compositions of books from the Orient, which emerged within about 1200 years and were first canonized by the Jews in the second century and then by the Christians.

The Pages were separated from the spine, soaked in water and then formed. The result is a three- dimensional art design made of interleaved compressed pages arranged at random.

The Holy Scriptures (Remix) stand for the individual as well as general area, where the society decides between sacral and profane.
