Poemotion is a lighthearted and playful book object. Beyond that, there is a serious and instructive dimension to it. Perception is bound to our senses, and what we see is always a mediated object. In Poemotion, the construction of forms and their movement become evident. Should we doubt what we see? Poemotion is an enlightening experience in the truest sense of the word, accessible by pure intuition to anyone.Lars Müller Publishers’ guiding principle, to provide with its publications a “school of seeing,” is incarnated at its best in this magnificent book object.

Poemotionは楽しく、遊び心に満ちた、本の形をしたオブジェです。でも楽しいだけでなく、真面目な、教訓的とも言える側面も持っています。私たちのものの捉え方は私たちの知覚から離れられないこと、私たちは常に何らかの媒介を通じてものを見ていることがわかるからです。Poemotionでは、形を持つものの構造とその動きが見えてきます。でも、目に見えるものは疑うべきなのかもしれません。Poemotionは本当に文字通り、目を見開かされるような体験です。誰もがそれを直感的に体験できます。

この素晴らしいブックオブジェでは、出版を通じて「school of seeing (ものを見かたを養う方法)」を世の中に届けるという、Lars Müller Publishersの基本理念が最高の形で具現化されています。
