A brilliant and effective book by Olafur Eilasson, containing the negative space of his nineteenth-century family house. A laser cut book which presents a precise image of the house, Eilasson wanted the book to look like a book and not an object or a sculpture.  

The weight of the paper was chosen to correspond to the measurements of the 'house', i.e each sheet corresponds to the scale of the real house also represents a 2cm cross section of his house.  

The aesthetics of the book appear beautiful, it would be brilliant to actually see and touch the book.
