This book is an experimental publication exploring the art, history, and uses of the maze in pop culture, science and spirituality.
It uses its form as a way of engaging the reader in experiencing a maze itself - encouraging an element of play and confusion to figure out the hidden or connecting layouts.
‘Delusion’ comes from the origin of the middle English name of ‘maes’. It is linked together by an A1 sheet of card and uses the concept of tip-ins to maintain a traditional codex book
element to it.
The book is inspired by puzzles, mazes and games.
I explored this theme through its form, by adoptiong an element of play aswell as making it informative.
There isn’t necessarily an order to the book, it is made to be explored and it is organised by sections. Each section has its own designated symbol. At the beginning of the book there is a tip-in key which indicates the contents of each symbol.
