Era of Abstraction
Design of a doctoral thesis
The doctoral thesis of Laura Nissinen researches the concept of abstract art in Finnish photography. I designed the book and its layout.
An eight-part artwork* by Nissinen wraps around the cover and the page cut. The colour refers to this work, and the book title composition plays with an idea of an information label found in art galleries next to an artwork.

Each of the 248 pages has a unique slice of the fourth photographic print.
The layout plays with space, and the spread compositions vary.
