For almost six years, photographer and artist Cara Berer has been taking a very unique approach to book art. She thoughtfully bends, folds and occasionally soaks old pages of discarded catalogues, outdated dictionaries, dated instruction manuals and rejected telephone books, transforming them into marvelous works of art. And don’t worry, bookworms – Cara has assured us that no important books have been injured during the making of any of her photographs.

These remind of those beautiful origami pieces you showed us a few days ago when the artist worked with money.
These have a rougher and darker quality. Really beautiful.

Theres nothing more creative than breathing new life in to something so mundane as a phone book (why do they still print them??)

The museum I volunteer at is going to have an exhibit with some of these this Fall called Out of Print: Altered Books! 🙂 (Bakersfield Museum of Art)..I have a bookmark with 5th down on the right, and when I first saw it I had no idea what it was because it’s been cropped; I thought it was string at first.
Those are amazing! Kaleidoscopic joy!
