double take – Artist Tauba Auerbach

I did a double take when I came across an image of a work the other day. I had to look at it a second time closer after being so surprised the first time seeing it.
Does this happen to you too sometimes?

It turned out to be the project [2,3]. The artist Tauba Auerbach teamed up with Printed Matter to publish six separate, wonderfully designed pop-up books filled with geometric paper sculptures. There is also a great video by the director Sam Fleischner which shows the books being unpacked and opened up. There is a moment of wonder each time. And I love the sound of the books creaking until they are fully opened.
