Árvore Vertical, 2014 Full-color printed leaflet; Edition of 80; Páreas-Párias; Lisbon
Variable dimensions
André Sousa presents Árvore Vertical, a meticulous author’s edition limited to only 80 copies. This publication transcends the traditional format, unfolding as a 20-page leaflet structured by 9 precise folds that dictate the rhythm of the visual experience. Inside, the work showcases a series of photographs capturing trees and botanical motifs, where the artist explores organic textures of nature. The unique folding system allows the viewer to navigate the imagery in a non-linear way, mirroring the layered complexity of the forest itself. By choosing this tactile and fragmented format, Sousa transforms the act of reading into a spatial exploration, turning a simple document into a collectible art object.
